The following statement was sent to the Holy Synod, on the news of the passing away of Archbishop Christodoulos:

My Family and I express our grief for the passing away of Archbishop Christodoulos. The late archbishop’s humanitarian work and the constructive relationship he established with the public as leader of the Greek Orthodox Church, are imprints of virtue, dedication and hope; the legacy of a truly outstanding Hierarch and Archbishop.

May God rest his soul.

Constantine R.
