	Phanar looks for ways to make charter rejection palatable
		During the first meeting between the Patriarchate and the Archdiocesan charter committees that took place on December 1, 2000 at the Phanar, the representatives of the Patriarchate expressed reluctance to accept the proposed charter as the Herald revealed in its December 9-10, 2000 issue.
		In case Demetrios refuses to follow Phanar's directions, the Patriarchate "is planning through articles in newspapers in Greece to exercise pressure on him by presenting him as uncooperative and the one who is trying to disassociate the Church of America from the Patriarchate."
		It is believed that one of the plans the Phanar has under consideration is to procrastinate until some of the Metropolitans of the current Synod of America retire and are replaced by Patriarchate appointees who will tilt the will of the Synod in favor of the Phanar.

	Greece
		It is that mighty force, undying from Homer to the present Phanar at Constantinople, that, through all changes of government, has been expressed in the same language, has evolved its own ideals, and, unbroken in its continuity for nearly thirty centuries, has moulded to its own likeness nearly every race it met.
		The oecumenical patriarch took the place of the emperor; his court, the Phanar, was the heart of Hellenism, where the purest Greek was spoken, the memory of the old Greek States most alive.
		But, in spite of Greek enthusiasm for Gregory V (his relics were buried with great honour at Athens in 1871), the court of the patriarch (the Phanar) was too much under the power of the sultan for the free Greeks to submit to its jurisdiction.

	The Patriarchate at the Phanar (1600 to the present time)
		It lacked size and importance and, consequently, unlike the two previous patriarchal cathedrals, it was later rebuilt and enlarged within the precincts of the Patriarchate's complex.
		Before its use as patriarchal church it served the needs of the parish of the Diplophanarion, a parish independent of the Phanar, with its boundaries clearly defined by the earlier <>, a walled enclave the interior of which it occupied.
		Following these renovations, the church and the patriarchal establishment became sufficiently spacious for the necessities of religious worship and the discharge of the administrative activities of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

	Athens News
		The major synod was called on May 17 by Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos, who is first among equals in the Orthodox world, entrusted by church canons with the authority to coordinate the independent Orthodox churches with a view to preserving their unity.
		The Phanar long avoided holding any synod, but if one were to be held, most thought it would include only Greek church leaders, without Christodoulos.
		But the protracted nature of the deepening crisis, and the apparent reluctance of the government of Jordan to officially publish a royal decree to ratify the cabinet's decision recognising the Jerusalem bishops' decision to depose Eirinaios, is believed to have forced Vartholomeos' hand.

	Which Way Orthodoxy?
		Rancor erupted during the late nineties when the Patriarchate -- often referred to as the Phanar, after the district in Constantinople where it is located -- pressured Archbishop Iakovos to resign, replacing him with Archbishop Spyridon.
		But critics of the Phanar counter that the crisis was caused not by an immature American church, but by a Patriarchate bent on subjugating a restive and stubborn American flock.
		Calls for Spyridon's resignation were initially greeted with stern disdain by the Phanar, who vowed that "he will be your Archbishop...until he dies." A few months later, however, Spyridon was replaced by the current Archbishop, Demetrios, and reappointed to a province in Turkey.

	Patriarchate Denies US Church Autonomy
		Proposed changes to the deal reached between the Phanar and the American committee on the charter were voted on at the July Clergy-Laity Conference in a special plenary session where Archbishop Demetrios allowed extensive debate.
		That drew strong criticism from the Phanar on the grounds that clergy-laity conferences are not authorised to discuss dogmatic issues.
		The practice of praying for the archbishop - in addition to the patriarch - during all church services was considered an important symbolic confirmation of the unity of the archdiocese.

		Other migrants to the Phanar were the Callimachis (Florentine), the Ghika (Albanian), the Mourousis (from Asia Minor), the Mavroyeni (from Mykonos), the Mavrogordato or Mavrocordato (from Chios) and the Rosetti (from Genoa).
		Genealogies] became the Phanar élite of the C17th and C18th and the torchbearers of Greek heritage.
		Of 41 high dignitaries of the Phanar between 1741 and 1821 almost half were assassinated in office — 7 executed, 6 decapitated, 2 strangled, 2 stabbed and 1 hanged.

	Good news for Orthodox in Turkey?
		They cannot enter the Phanar's main gate because it was welded shut in 1821 after the Ottoman Turks hanged Patriarch Gregory V from its lintel.
		The Orthodox and other religious minorities are anxious to have more control over their finances, to be able to grant work permits to foreign clergy, to freely elect their own leaders and to build and rebuild sanctuaries.
		The gate to the Phanar was been sealed for many generations.

	Great symbols from pope and patriarch, but no breakthroughs, By John L. Allen, Jr., National Catholic Reporter
		In a divine liturgy celebrated today at the Phanar, the headquarters of the Patriarch of Constantinople, Pope Benedict XVI pledged that “the Catholic Church is ready to do everything possible” to promote unity between the 250 million Orthodox believers in the world and the roughly 1.1 billion Roman Catholics.
		Benedict XVI is actually the third pope to visit the Phanar, following in the footsteps of Paul VI in 1967 and John Paul II in 1979.
		Also at the Phanar, Benedict pressed one of the leitmotifs of his pontificate, the appeal for greater religious liberty.

	[MGSA-L] Trip of Pope John Paul II to Phanar canceled
		Another possible reason is that the Pope -perhaps on second thought- wanted to spare the Patriarch from a potential embarrassment (vide infra) and by the same token, the Turkish authorities from an acute migrainous episode let alone a security nightmare.
		The visit of the Pope to Phanar would have been seen as recognition of the Patriarch's Ecumenical authority and prestige as the spiritual leader of 200 million Orthodox Christians throughout the world, and as the 'primus inter pares' (the 'first among equals') in the hierarchy of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
		Again, a Vatican delegation is expected to return the relics to Phanar on the occasion of the Orthodox feast day of Saint Andrew on November 30th.

		The historical quarters of Phanar and Balat today look very different from what they were in the past They are rather worse off in economic terms.
		The quarters of Phanar and Balat are also important in symbolic terms as they house the Patriarchate of Phanar and the Greek College whose foundation dates back earlier than the conquest of Istanbul.
		The most important characteristic of the Phanar and Balat houses is that they are historical houses made of stone, mostly single-storied, decked with special decorations and lined up along narrow streets.

	Common Declaration by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI and Patriarch Bartholomew I
		On Thursday 30 November [2006], after the Divine Liturgy in St George's Patriarchal Church at the Phanar, Istanbul, the Holy Father and the Ecumenical Patriarch, from a second floor balcony, blessed the faithful gathered in the courtyard below respectively in Latin and in Greek.
		We have recalled with thankfulness the meetings of our venerable predecessors, blessed by the Lord, who showed the world the urgent need for unity and traced sure paths for attaining it, through dialogue, prayer and the daily life of the Church.
		They left us a common declaration which retains all its value; it emphasizes that true dialogue in charity must sustain and inspire all relations between individuals and between Churches, that it “must be rooted in a total fidelity to the one Lord Jesus Christ and in mutual respect for their own traditions” (Tomos Agapis, 195).

	Archbishop Spyridon Today
		In an interview to "Proini" on the agreement reached at the Phanar regarding the revision of the Archdiocese's Charter, the former Archbishop of America, Spyridon, foresees the Archbishop's role as even more difficult following the elevation of dioceses to metropolitanates.
		Is the role of the Archbishop, as metropolitan amongst metropolitans (as the Phanar plans), downgraded or is he upgraded as chairman of a synod composed of metropolitans?
		Time will ultimately show whether the new "agreement" is capable of forestalling a new crisis, especially since the protagonists this time will be the supporters of autocephaly, and their numbers are increasing day by day.

	Greek Orthodox Archdiocese - Articles by Justine Frangouli
		Greek-American circles estimate that the Patriarch’s haste in calling on Spyridon to travel to the Phanar immediately is due to Bartholomew’s profound concern about the Archbishop’s intense efforts to advance the Cyprus issue.
		Equally, it is felt that in spite of his long tenure he has not succeeded in bridging the gap between Archdiocese of Australia and the local Old Calendarist communities.
		Neverthless, the Phanar artfully suppresses all mention of his name, unwilling to let its sole candidate get a bad press, given that Metropolitan Maximos had recently committed a theological faux-pas by signing a joint Orthodox-Catholic document that recognized the validity of Catholic baptism.

	Which Way Orthodoxy?
		Were the American church to become autocephalous, the Phanar would lose the largest Archdiocese over which it still retains administrative control.
		Indeed, rancorous disputes have frequently erupted between the Phanar and the fiercely independent Greek church.
		The Archdiocese and Phanar, Kopan said, are trying to hammer out an agreement which they can then present as a "done deal." The proposed Charter, she added, significantly limits the role of the laity, stripping away jurisdictional power and consigning it to an "advisory role."

	The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOA) Granted Autonomy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Phanar rejected the GOA hierarchs' proposal and substituted its own proposed charter for the GOA, which would increase its control over the GOA and its parish properties, and decrease the role of the U.S. clergy and laity in the GOA's governance.
		In the AOA, the U.S. clergy, laity, and hierarchs were all united behind the AOA's autonomy proposal, which passed the AOA General Assembly on July 27, 2001 with a 97.7% favorable vote.
		In contrast, the GOA hierarchs' original autonomy proposal to the Phanar was quite specific, calling for the GOA Synod to elect its own bishops, and the Phanar to elect the GOA Archbishop from among three candidates nominated by the GOA Synod.

		Today resting on its laurels, The National Herald criticizes the Phanar and propagandizes for the autocephalous movement in the Church of America.

		The Phanar welcomed with splendour Pope Benedict XVI on his first visit to the seat of the Ecumenical Throne.
		This was a historical continuation of the meetings that took place between Patriarch Athenagoras and Pope Paul VI, which led to the removal of the Anathemas, imposed by either side, at the time of the great Schism in 1054, leaving Christendom divided.

		The Patriarch did not forget his agenda which was to bring about a pliable and subservient clergy and laity and that he would control and exploit the archdiocese by changing its type of administration to favor the Mother Church at the expense, welfare and progress of the GOA.
		Such things as the elimination of the human rights of the individual, ruling with an iron hand that demanded unquestioned obedience, and using the Church for its own purposes (although they rationalized that it was for the “good of the Church”).
		The Phanar obviously believes that the proposed charter is a take-it-or-leave-it proposition.
