In the presence of the President of the Republic, Konstantinos Tasoula and the leader of the Archbishop of Athens and all Greece Hieronymus, he was held in the morning at the Cathedral of Athens, a Synodical Divine Liturgy, on the occasion of the 1,700th anniversary of the 1st Ecumenical Council of Ecumenical.

On the subject of “The First Ecumenical Council and its importance” was spoken by the Metropolitan of Nafpaktos and St. Vlasios Ierotheos, who initially pointed out that the work of the Ecumenical Council was divinely inspired, precisely because the divine fathers participated and moved to two parts. First, in the theological part, after drafting the first articles of the symbol of faith, confronting Gnosticism, which argued that the world was created by the Word, as a minimum god, and the Arianism, who argued that the Word is not God. Secondly, he issued twenty (20) sacred rules that regulate ecclesiastical issues and determined the Easter celebration.

Subsequently, he presented the two theological currents expressed at the Synod, one is the philosophical and theological stream of the Aryans, condemned, and the other, the empirical-rewarding stream of the Fathers based on the revelation of the Asarkos Word to the Prophets of the Old Testament.

He concluded that by respecting the Theophorous Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council we must theologize “in the Holy Theology of the Holy Theology and the Church of the Church” and be “receivers, guardians and posts” of the Orthodox tradition.

Tomorrow, at 9:00 in the morning, the Holy Synod of the Hierarchy of the Church of Greece, chaired by Archbishop Hieronymus, will be convened at an extraordinary festive session, with the theme of the First Ecumenical Council. The Metropolitan of Messinia Chrysostomos will speak at the meeting on “The acceptance of the theology and the work of the First Ecumenical Council, in the context of the tradition of the Orthodox Church”.
