The Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church analysed during its working session held at the Patriarchal Residence, from 19 – 20 May 2011, under the chairmanship of His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel, the decisions of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem published on its official site on 9 May 2011 and thinks that these decisions are contradictory to the spirit of the brotherly communion between the sister Orthodox Churches.
Nevertheless, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox does not break up the communion with the Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
Therefore, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church assigned a delegation made up of His Eminence Honourable Metropolitan Nifon, Archbishop of Târgovişte, His Eminence Honourable Archbishop Ioan, of the Diocese of Covasna and Harghita, His Grace Vincenţiu, Bishop of Slobozia and Călăraşi, and His Grace Ciprian Câmpineanul, Assistant Bishop to the Patriarch with the official mandate to have an official dialogue with the Patriarchate of Jerusalem in order to solve this issue.
