Archbishop Elpidophoros of America will visit the Ecumenical Patriarchate on November 17, with a group of members of the Order of Saint Andrew of the Archons of the Archdiocese, who will pay a pilgrimage on the occasion of the Feast Day of the Throne of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
The Archbishop will arrive a few days earlier to have the opportunity to meet with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to discuss the ecclesiastical issues of the Archdiocese of America and its foundations, with the top one being the Theological School.
It is noted that this is the first time that Archbishop Elpidophoros will return to the Phanar after his unanimously election to the Archbishop’s throne of America on Saturday, May 11, by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, on the recommendation of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
