 ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE REPRESENTATIVES MET WITH THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION

Athens - The representatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Metropolites of Efesos and Philadelphia, met with Minister of Education Mrs. Marietta Yiannakou in Athens.

In the meeting they discussed the likelihood and the conditions under which the Theology School of Halki will reopen and both sides expressed the wish that the Theology School will reopen soon.

Afterwards, the Ecumenical Patriarchate representatives met with Foreign Minister Petros Moliviatis.

In statements he made on the easing of the crisis within the Church, Metropolite Chrisostomos of Efesos stated that he is annoyed by the fact that the Ecumenical Patriarch's gesture to apologize himself, instead of the three new Metropolites in the New Countries, was not appreciated as much as it should.
