Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens and All Greece called on the faithful to attend the prayer vigils to be held this evening in churches across Greece and pray for the Church to get out of the crisis tormenting it during the past weeks.

Minister of State Thodoris Rousopoulos stated that citizens or politicians need no permission to attend religious rites.

Metropolite Kalinikos of Piraeus criticized the Archbishop but at the same time offered support to him.
