The Permanent Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Greece has voiced its concern for the Christian community in Syria following recent comments by Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens. The Church is in steady contact with the Patriarchate of Antioch, offering to assist in any way needed. The Synod emphasizes Syria’s historical significance to Christianity and urges the Greek government and international community to take immediate action to ensure peace and protect the civilian population, as well as the presence of the Orthodox Patriarchate in the region.
