What has the Constantinople Synod Accomplished?

Deacon Giorgi Maximov

Metropolitan Amvrossios of Kalavryta and Aighialeia writes, “We are particularly shocked by the fact that the Constantinople Patriarchate has thus left poor Fr. Ephraim, their own man, to his fate, and does not allow others to sympathize with his calamity either.

Rom. 12:15).
