Archbishop Elpidophoros of America convened the Holy Eparchial Synod on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, and presented for its consideration a request from Metropolitan Isaiah of Denver for the election of Archimandrite Constantine Moralis, Dean of the Annunciation Cathedral in Baltimore, Maryland, as his assistant Bishop.
The Archbishop and the members of the Holy Eparchial Synod unanimously accepted the request of Metropolitan Isaiah and recommended a triprosopon — as provided for by the Charter of the Archdiocese — consisting of the Archimandrites Constantine Moralis, Stavroforos Mamaies, and Chrysostomos Gilbert, which was thereafter sent to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew with the request that once the petition of the Holy Eparchial Synod is approved, the canonical vote would take place.
