Are all three major patriarchs -- Bartholomew of Constantinople, Christodoulos of Greece, and Hilarion of Moscow --- going to be at the installation? I wasn't quite clear.

What's the line-up? How big is the entourage?

Please be sure to ping don-o on this, too.

Thanks!

From Asia News Service:

The ecumenical patriarch will be accompanied by Ioannis Zizioulas, metropolitan of Pergamon and co-president of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Church, as well as Tarassios, Orthodox Metropolitan of Argentina, and Gennadios, Orthodox Metropolitan of Italy.

The Moscow Patriarch is KIRILL; HILARION is in charge of external relations for Moscow.

Having BARTHOLOMEW attend, while significant is not all that surprising, based on recent history. If Moscow comes, now we are talking big, big, big.

I’m not finding any confirmation of that.
