message: The clear call from the community to “Arab-ize” the Church has been
met with an equally clear refusal from the Greek clergy to give up their
influence. The leaders of the Jerusalem Patriarchate have not recognized
the community’s complaints as legitimate, arguing that the nationalities
of archbishops and patriarchs should not matter and that devotion to the
Church is the only important factor.20 In an interview with Ha’aretz reporter
Yehouda Letani, Irineos’ predecessor, Diodorus I, questioned:
When did the Arabs come here?...The Greeks have been here for over 2000 years. They came with Alexander of Macedonia in the year 322 BC, and since then we are still here. The Arabs arrived only during the 7th century. This is our Church, the church of the Greeks, if they do not accept our laws, they have one alternative – choose another Church, or establish one of their own.
According to West Bank native Archbishop Theodosius, an advocate
of reform in the Church, the fault for the division between the leaders of
the Greek Church and the Arab lay, does not lie entirely with the Greekinfluenced
Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre. The maintenance of the
family name is important for most Arabs, but this requires marriage; an
action that is incompatible with becoming a Greek Orthodox bishop or
higher level clergyman.
In addition, Archbishop Theodosius notes, there
are a significantly greater number of Greeks in ecclesiastical training than
Arabs. He believes that the need to increase the involvement of the lay
Orthodox community in the Church supercedes the need to appoint Arabs
to high Church positions.
When asked if he and Archbishop Sivestros wanted to see more Arabs
in the Holy Synod, Archbishop Theodosius agreed with the other leaders
of the patriarchate, “It does not matter where you are from, just that you
are sincere to the mission of the Church.” He said, “We care about quality,
not nationality. Priests should be educated, dedicated to the Church, and
understand its history.” He feels that the greatest problem facing the Church
today is corruption, and that if the Synod can work to increase transparency
in the Church’s dealings, calls to “Arab-ize” the church will diminish.
