An Associated Press wire article carried by the Baltimore Sun, dated 16 February 2024, reporting Greece's enactment of civil same-sex marriage days after Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew affirmed the Orthodox Church's 2016 Council of Crete stance opposing same-sex unions while adding that the church must respond to members in such unions with pastoral responsibility and Christ-like love, an independent account corroborating the Synod's own reported statement.
