	Orthodox unity hard to achieve - www.ezboard.com
		Firstly, Patriarch Alexei II of Russia boycotted the meeting due to the Ecumenical Patriarchate's 1996 decision to allow the Orthodox Church of Estonia to come under its jurisdiction after over 40 years of being forcibly subjected to the Patriarchate of Moscow, during communist rule.
		Another key bone of contention was a call by Patriarch Maximos of Bulgaria for all of the Orthodox leaders to condemn the schismatic faction of his church, which has for years challenged his canonical legitimacy.
		Just over two years ago - on September 30, 1998 - Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos had called a special synod at the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, where Maximos' legitimate authority was affirmed and the schismatic patriarch Poimen (since deceased) was forced to express repentance and subject his followers to Maximos' authority.

	HTC: Introduction to the Orthodox Church
		Traditionally, the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul) is recognized as the "first among equal" Orthodox bishops.
		The patriarch of Constantinople, however, also exercises jurisdiction over Greek-speaking churches outside Greece and controls, for example, the Greek archdiocese of America, which is distinct from the Orthodox Church in America, listed among the autocephalous churches.
		These developments, however, were not always consistent with the evolution of Western Christianity, where the bishop of Rome, or pope, came to be considered the successor of the apostle Peter and head of the universal church by divine appointment.

	Printable Version
		An appeal to the Bulgarian and Georgian Orthodox churches to reconsider their return to the broad ecumenical world family was addressed by the participants at an international academic symposium held in Thessaloniki from 1-3 June.
		The request is contained in a letter addressed to H.B. Patriarch Maximos of Bulgaria and H.B. Catholicos Elias, Patriarch of Georgia, signed by participants at a symposium organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki's Theological Faculty.
		According to Raiser, perhaps the most important Orthodox contribution to the WCC was the "consistent expression of the Orthodox commitment to the ecumenical fellowship of churches, which has been re-affirmed in response to questions and sometimes harsh criticism from within".
