Review of the Removal of Monks at Osios Abbakoum Monastery
October 14, 2024
The Osios Abbakoum Monastery has 15 days to file an appeal against the decision of the Synodal Court that declared the removal of three monks on moral grounds. The decision will be communicated today, and the monks will appear at the appeal with a lawyer, excluding the already disqualified Anastasios Vavouskos. Seven members of the Holy Synod will review the appeal, looking for potential errors in the Synodal Court's decision. The monks will attempt to overturn the ruling by presenting their reasons for believing the decision was unjust.
