The Doors of Orthodoxy (Bulgarian) website reports today (September 23, 2010) that the economic crisis in Greece has caused the Greek government to stop financing the Orthodox Center of the Constantinople Patriarchate in Chambesy, Switzerland.
Consequently, the patriarchal center is on the verge of closing down. It formally continues its work, but in reality, it no longer functions as it previously did, and its staff has been reduced.
The Chambesy Center has a theological institute and its faculties in Lausanne and Geneva prepared specialists in Orthodox theology. Prominent church figures were among its graduates.
The Chambesy Center included three churches, a chapel, and five Orthodox parishes: Georgian, Arabic, Greek, Romanian, and French-speaking.
