WHAT IS AN ARCHON?
An Archon is an honouree by His All Holiness, the
Ecumenical Patriarch, for his outstanding service to the Church, and a
well-known distinguished, and well-respected leader of the Greek Orthodox
Community (at large).
It is by the grace of God that the Archon has been able to offer his good
works and deeds of faith. Further, it is the sworn oath of the Archon to
defend and promote the Greek Orthodox faith and tradition. His special
concern and interest is to serve as a bulwark to protect and promote the
Holy Patriarchate and its mission. He is also concerned with the human
race's inalienable rights wherever and whenever they are violated - and
the well-being and general welfare of the Church.
This honour, extended by the Church, carries with it grave responsibilities,
deep commitments, and sincere dedication. Consequently, it is of utmost
importance that this honour of obligation be bestowed upon individuals of
proven Orthodox Christian character, who conform faithfully to the teachings
of Christ, and the doctrines, canons, worship, discipline, and encyclicals
of the Church.
Furthermore, the honouree should have demonstrated to a greater than average degree his commitment toward the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, for the betterment of the Church; Parish-Diocese; Metropolis/Archdiocese; and the community as a whole, and must truly be deserving of the proclamation - AXIOS.
