    The Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate are honorees selected by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew for outstanding service to the Church and distinguished leadership within the Orthodox Christian community. It is the responsibility of each Archon to defend and promote the Orthodox Christian faith and tradition. The Archons are also concerned with human rights, religious freedom, and the well-being of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Church in general. More information about the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate can be found at: www.archons.org.

    The Hellenic Society of Constantinople is a not for profit 501(c)3organization founded in 1939. It was one of the first Societies created in the United States to perpetuate the vast contributions made by the Byzantines, and to preserve the remaining Greek Orthodox churches in Constantinople. The Society’s continuing mission is to support the religious freedoms of all minorities in Asia Minor and abroad, and support the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople.

      I am glad about their efforts in these presentations, but I must add that it should be possible to post a picture of the great Hagia Sophia church without those minarets.
