Eternal Memory to His Holiness Patriarch Teoctist of Romania; God grant him peace and rest in Christ.
How is a Patriarch chosen? Do bishops
chose? Is he selected from among the
higher bishops? Isn\'t a Patriarch chosen
from someone who is already a bishop?
Is there any additional laying on of hands?
I am not sure how that works.
Wouldn\'t it make sense for the other
Patriarchs: Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Antioch, Moscow, etc. to be
involved in the accession of a new Patriarch?
Just wondering.
