| | Greek Old Calendarists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1935, three Bishops from the Church of Greece returned their dioceses to the Julian calendar, consecrated four like-minded clergy to Episcopal dignity, created the church of the "Genuine Orthodox Christians" (Greek: Εκκλησία των Γνησίων Ορθοδόξων Χριστιανών - Γ.Ο.Χ.), and declared and that the official Orthodox Church of Greece had fallen into schism. | | | In 1924, the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Greece voted to accept an altered form of the Gregorian calendar that both maintained the traditional Julian calendar Paschalion for calculating the date of Pascha and adopted a different method from the Gregorian of calculating leap years, the so-called Revised Julian calendar. | | | Up to the early 20th century, the Eastern Orthodox Church used the Julian Calendar universally, not accepting the calendric reforms of the Roman Pope Gregory XIII, with whom the Orthodox Church had been out of communion for centuries by that point. |

| | Answers In Action: Church of Greece Hunting Husbands for Priests |
| | The very conservative Church of Greece, part of the Eastern Orthodox communion of churches, yesterday launched a campaign to convince Greek women that life with a priest (who are allowed to marry before taking their final vows) is good. | | | Church officials were quick to say that they would not be disrupting any ordinary church education or action in order to encourage young women to marry priests -- saying that, for example, church catechism classes would not be transformed into matchmaking courses. | | | In an age of materialism and self-centeredness, the church has found that few Greek women are attracted to what they see as an austere, self-sacrificing lifestyle as a priest's wife. |
