The bishop looks like an old diesel dyke!

“Then, in a startling development, the rigidly traditional Greek Orthodox church decided in 2004 to restore the order of the diaconate for women, citing authoritative sources that the church had ordained women as deacons at least through the Middle Ages.”

I wonder if these women have any idea what the Church of Greece was doing when it decided this. Trust me, it doesn’t even come close to being useful to them.

To: Kolokotronis

My understanding was that none of the Orthodox Churches were ordaining women, was I incorrect?
