“To protect our ministry and respect our responsibility before God, we sever our ties with those who voted against divine law, not inviting them to any parish event until they show genuine repentance by repealing this heinous legislation,” Metropolis of Piraeus said. 

Metropolitan Seraphim and other church council and administrative committee members have also signed a resolution “to address the consequences of the law on the marriage of same-sex individuals.”
