On March 12, 2016, the new metropolitan of Karpenission, Georgios Rebelos, was consecrated as hierarch in the Archiepiscopal Cathedral of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, in Athens – the official website of the Orthodox Church of Greece informs.

Archimandrite Georgios Rebelos was consecrated as a hierarch during the Divine Liturgy celebrated on Saturday by His Beatitude Hieronymus, Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, together with 14 other hierarchs of the Orthodox Church of Greece, as a result of the decision of the Holy Synod.

“Rely on the Church and receive power from it. The Altar of the Lord will continue to be Alpha and Omega in your life, either if you are glad, sad, applauded or blamed, your service will always be strongly inspired by the sacrifice of the Lord”, Archbishop Hieronymus said, addressing his spiritual son, the new Metropolitan of Karpenission.

    

“Pray so that my service should be pleasing to God and to man and I be worthy of my mission”, Metropolitan Georgios said in his speech.

Archimandrite Georgios Rebelos was elected Metropolitan of Karpenission by the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Greece convened in extraordinary meeting from 8 – 10 March 2016, at the Synodal Palace in Athens.

The new Metropolitan of Karpenission was born in 1963, in Kastella village, Evia. In 1985, he graduated the Pedagogical Academy of Lamia, and in 1993 the Faculty of Theology within the University of Athens.

In September 1994, he was ordained deacon and then priest by His Beatitude Archbishop Hieronymus, Metropolitan of Teba and Levadia at the time. From 2008 forward he has served as secretary of the synodal commissions, and since October 2014, as secondary Secretary of the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Greece.

"The theology of our Church is not a double-headed theology. It is not academic. It does not begin and end in libraries and university laboratories. The theology of our Church begins at the Holy Altar! That is the greatest theological Table which produces the one theology – the theology of the Immaculate Lamb. On the Holy Altar is the sacrificial lamb. It is the broken, divided and never expended Christ. He is the centre “of the entire Church.” He is the lighting strength, the source of sanctity, from which all of creation, strengthened both in logic and intellect sends up the eternal doxology." “Go in peace to this cross-bearing, sacrificial labor!” “Go in peace to this cross-bearing, sacrificial labor!”
