Two Athenian lawyers have filed a lawsuit against Archbishop Elpidophoros and his entourage over an article by Archdeacon John Chrysavgis regarding the issue of the baptism of the children of a homosexual couple in the Glyfada Diocese of the Hellenic Orthodox Church, Ekklisia Online reports.
According to lawyers Evangelos Manisakis and Charalambos Ktenas, the article by John Chrysavgis, which appeared in the newspapers and repeats the position of Elpidophoros, “is full of unfounded reports and inaccuracies that can cause great social unrest, indirectly directed against the majority of Orthodox Christians in Greece and abroad”.
