Metropolitans Chrysostomos of Dodoni and Dionysios of Zakynthos visited the headquarters of the Ecumenical Patriarchate at the Phanar on Thursday, June 25, 2026. They were accompanied by Archimandrite Seraphim Konidis, a cleric of the Metropolis of Zakynthos.
The visit came ahead of a special ceremony planned for the following day, organized by the Ionian University of Greece. At the ceremony, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was to be conferred the title of Honorary Professor of the Department of Environment of the university’s School of Environment.
During the cordial meeting, the Ecumenical Patriarch announced his decision to bestow on Archimandrite Seraphim Konidis the ecclesiastical dignity (offikion) of Archimandrite of the Ecumenical Throne, in recognition of his service to the Church. Faithful service to the Church is work done for the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
The delegation expressed its gratitude to the Ecumenical Patriarch. Discussions also turned to matters concerning the life and ministry of the Church.
