Georgian Orthodox Church

But why is conversation? Turned 32 years from the date of the enthronement of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II. A week later, on January 4, the clergy and the whole community will celebrate the 77th anniversary of the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The authority of the Patriarch has been written many times in the past year, but will have to remember it again, because the problems in relations with the authorities of the higher clergy did not exhausted. The President of Georgia, as if demonstrating his loyalty to the Church of the days of the anniversary of his enthronement, however was forced to read a statement of the Holy Synod, adopted in those days.
