Members of the Holy Synod of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece met for a second day this week on Thursday, with hierarchs anxiously awaiting news on how a general Covid-19 lockdown will affect houses of worship and the holding of services and sacraments with worshippers.
In a related development, the tenure of members of the board of directors of the Association of Clerics of Greece has been extended until the end of the year, as the board announced an extraordinary decision this week to postpone upcoming elections for the association’s leadership — all due to a worsening public health situation in the country due to the pandemic.
