Judicial proceedings for suspended monks at the Monastery of Saint Avvakoumos
October 2, 2024
Today's religious proceedings involve the suspended monks Nektarios, Porfyrios, and Avvakoumos, who are called to defend themselves against financial and ethical violations. A decision from the Synodic Court is expected before the end of the week, with the likelihood of removal considered certain for the first two monks. Avvakoumos may face a different penalty, that of laicization. The charges include serious offenses, and this decision will impact their roles within the Church.
