	Turkey Drops Charges Against Patriarch
		Bartholomew and 12 senior clerics were charged in this predominantly Muslim but secular country on rarely invoked charges of "preventing others from observing faith and conducting religious services" after the priest was dismissed in 2002.
		Chiprov's lawyers said Bartholomew and his Holy Synod did not have authority to dismiss Konstantin Kostov, the Bulgarian priest, because the Bulgarian church in Istanbul had been separated from the Patriarchate in 1840 amid conflicts between the two.
		Bartholomew's attorney had argued that the secular state should not get involved in the case.

	LancasterOnline.com: Bartholomew I Holds Great Sway in Turkey
		But Bartholomew carries great sway as caretaker of Orthodox spirituality in Istanbul, which was the capital of the Christian Byzantium and known as Constantinople before the city fell to Muslim armies in 1453.
		Bartholomew, 66, was born on the Turkish island of Gokceada, known as Imvros by Greeks, and became a deacon in 1961 and a priest in 1969.
		Bartholomew's role, however, is complicated by Turkish views that reject his global status and declare him only the head of the tiny Greek Orthodox community in Turkey.

		The patriarchs were the spiritual leaders of the Eastern, or "Greek," Church, and essentially served as "popes" of the East.
		The Patriarch’s efforts to embrace environmentalism on physical, moral and spiritual grounds is part of his broader agenda to modernize his church and bring it out of its perceived distant and insular positions after centuries of foreign domination and self-imposed seclusion.
		In trying to demonstrate that the Patriarchate and the Orthodox Church can come to symbolize a renewed Byzantine cosmopolitanism, Bartholomew is seeking to find common ground with his Christian and Muslim neighbors, who share similar concerns about how their societies and communities will develop and cooperate in a globalizing and modernizing world.

		Ecumenical patriarch Bartholomew I and Pope Benedict XVI converse at the St. George Church in Istanbul, Turkey on Wednesday Nov 29 2006.
