Is this Church the same entity as Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem? --Oichiro 19:57, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's the church that patriarch is the head of. Same relationship as between Pope and Roman Catholic Church. --Delirium 20:00, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
Belated thanks, Delirium. --Oichiro 07:07, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)


According to the current Patriarch as quoted in greek media the Patriarchate does not yet have an official website:

([1] - 4th paragraph from bottom)

The relevant portion of text follows, accompanied the translation:

Μάλιστα, επισήμανε ότι το Πατριαρχείο δεν διαθέτει ιστοσελίδα, αποκαλύπτοντας ότι αυτή που εμφανίζεται στις συνδέσεις με τα επίσημα sites των Ορθοδόξων Εκκλησιών δεν είναι επίσημη και δεν γνωρίζουν απο πού εκπορεύεται. Πάντως, ετοιμάζεται η επίσημη ιστοσελίδα του Πατριαρχείου.

Indeed, he noted that the Patriarchate does not have a website, revealing that the one shown among links to the official sites of the Orthodox Churches is not official and (they) do not know where that (site) comes from. However, the official website of the Patriarchate is in the works.

Therefore I proceed to tag the links appearing in the external links section as unofficial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Contributor175 (talkcontribs)

The site is owned by the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulcher, the question is who actually controls it....—Preceding unsigned comment added by Frmaximos (talkcontribs)

I assume this has to do with difficulties in removing the former patriarch? In any event, I note the website now consists of an "under construction" notice, so perhaps things are moving along. TCC (talk) (contribs) 04:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
