In connection with the spread of false and misleading
statements on the internet regarding the latest decision of the Holy Synod on the
Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Church, to
be held June 16-26, 2016 Crete the
chancellery of the Holy Synod
specifies the following:
1. The decision unanimously adopted by the Holy Synod was
officially signed by the Bulgarian Patriarch and Their
Eminences, Metropolitans - members of the Holy Synod of
the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
2. The decision of the Holy Synod is categorical: the
Bulgarian Orthodox Church will not participate in the
Pan-Orthodox Council due to reasons already announced.
3. The decision was sent to the primates of every Local
Orthodox Church.
4. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church delegation's flight
to Crete on a government plane was canceled.
5. The Bulgarian delegation's reservations have been
canceled and negotiatons are currently underway for a
favorable conclusion.
Let members of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church exhibit a
high ecclesiastical consciousness as to trust its
hierarchs and, together with the Bulgarian public, not
succumb to unnecessary and unworthy manipulation.
CHRIST IS RISEN!
