Protocol No. 518. In Koropi on 19 September 2009 (O.C.)
APPOINTMENT OF PRIEST FR. PEDRO
AS RECTOR OF THE HOLY CHURCH
OF ST. SPYRIDON IN KAREA [ATHENS]
We, the Metropolitan of Mesogaea and Laureotica, Kirykos (of the
unadulterated Genuine Orthodox Church), taking into account:
1) the event that the Holy Church of St. Spyridon from the year 1974 has
been served by the Protopresbyter Fr. Thomas Kontogiannis, and after
the schism of the Nicholaitans, due to the petition of the Rector and the
Parishioners, is ecclesiastically and administrationally subject to the
Holy Metropolis of Mesogaea and Laureotica;
2) the event that the Holy Metropolis of Mesogaea and Laureotica is the
only Holy Metropolis of the unadulterated Genuine Orthodox Church,
which “unadulteratedly and unchangingly,” according to the phrase of
the Seventh Ecumenical Council, the good Confession of Faith, both in
the Ecclesiology and other dogmatics, and also in the Apostolic
Succession which we received from the Holy Father Matthew, in
whose name, together with St. Spyridon and St. Mark Eugenicus, the
Church is in honor, from the dedication [of the Church] on 12 October,
2006;
3) the event that the Holy Church of St. Spyridon at Karea is the only
Church of the Metropolis of Athens which remained in the Genuine
Orthodox Church after the “barbaric invasion” of the Nicholaitans and
the abandoning of the Spiritual Centre at Peristeri, and the Shelter for
Hospitality of the Clergy, and the remaining Churches, which they
placed into the service of Old Calendarist Ecumenism;
4) the event that the new ecclesiastical circumstances which have become
apparent after the convening of the Pan‐Orthodox Holy Synod in 2008,
require, in the Metropolis of Athens, the existence of a “MISSIONARY
ECCLESIASTICAL CENTRE OF THE WORLDWIDE GENUINE

2. ORTHODOX CHURCH” for the better managing of the Missionary
work on a Pan‐Orthodox scal;
5) the event that we have already appointed the Priest Fr. Pedro, of
Brazilian origin, as the assistant Rector of the Metropolitan Cathedral
of St. Demetrius in Acharnae;
DECIDE
That we appoint the Priest, Fr. Pedro, as the second Rector of the Holy
Church of St. Spyridon, since he is well educated and intelligent, and we give
him the position of responsibility for the organization of the “MISSIONARY
ECCLESIASTICAL CENTRE OF THE WORLDWIDE GENUINE
ORTHODOX CHURCH “HOLY FATHERS OF THE SEVEN ECUMENICAL
COUNCILS,” to be located near the existing Church.
We also declare, by the current [certificate] that Fr. Pedro will serve,
depending on our command, at the two above Holy Churches according to
the program and depending on the needs, or anywhere else the needs of the
Missionary work require.
