Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem

Today was a formal introduction to Christianity, with a concentration on Greek Orthodoxy, in preparation for the students' upcoming trips to Greece and Bulgaria. Along with a lecture, the students toured the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and met with his Beatitude Theophilos III, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Listen to how he explains his work by recognizing the various political entities under his religious supervision, his interactions with the other religious representatives in the region, and how he perceives Christian thought in relation to Jewish thought.
