Amid mounting tension over Archbishop Elpidophoros in the Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the head of the Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Fund, a non-profit NGO dedicated to the advancement of the Orthodox faith, has weighed in in his favor.
Leadership 100 chairman Jim Logothetis has reportedly hand-delivered to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, in Istanbul, a letter of support by his organization.
Concerns have been raised by the Greek government, among others, about Elpidophoros’ handling of the Church’s affairs.
