The Church of Greece demands compensation for its churches and institutions, as well as for the people working in them. In a letter sent to the Minister of Labour, the official Church demands that employees of churches, monasteries, church institutions receive special compensation, as they are severely affected by the negative consequences of the coronavirus outbreak and the unprecedented measures that have been taken.
Due to the temporary closure of the ecclesiastical bodies, the Church of Greece is requesting that the ecclesiastical bodies as well as the employees of the churches be included in the measures to provide the relevant special compensation of the ERGANI support platform.
The Holy Synod also sent a relevant letter to the Minister of Labour, Ioannis Vroutsis, informing the clergy and everyone concerned about its actions.
