ATHENS, Greece May 16 (ERT) - A week of constant developments is starting for the Patriarchal Seat of Jerusalem. Eirinaios decided not to go to Phanar, where he was awaited by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, despite his pledge over the phone last week. Instead of Eirinaios, his close colleagues Metropolitan Bishop Kyriakos of Nazareth and Archimandrite Eirinaios will go to Phanar and meet with Synod members and Patriarch Bartholomew. Furthermore, the Ecumenical Patriarch is to chair the Holy Synod meeting, on Tuesday, in which it is doubtful whether a date will be set to convene the Supreme Synod, as it is now considered pointless, as the decisions have been made by the Synod of the Patriarchy of Jerusalem. In the meantime, the Holy Sepulchre community awaits the official announcement of the ratification of the Renunciation Act for Eirinaios, which sources indicate was signed on Saturday by Jordanian King Abdallah, in order to open the way to elect a suffragan.
