The '''Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece''' is an [[Old Calendarist]] body (one of the [[Florinites|Florinite]] jurisdictions) which in 1935 broke from the [[Church of Greece]] over the latter's use of the "new calendar," also known as the [[Revised Julian Calendar]]. The adoption of the new calendar is viewed as an assault on the ecclesiological beliefs of the Church, in that it allegedly promotes common worship with heretics to further the goals of syncretistic [[Ecumenism]], while sacrificing liturgical unity among Orthodox Christians. It is not in communion with any of the [http://orthodoxwiki.org/List_of_autocephalous_and_autonomous_churches [List of autocephalous Churchesand autonomous churches|mainstream Orthodox churches]], though it has enjoyed occassional occasional support from Local Churches mainstream churches which have retained the old calendar[[Julian Calendar]]. It also has some support from the monks of [[Mount Athos]]. Its current [[primate]] is Archbishop Chrysostomos II (Kiousis) of Athens and All Greece.
