Two Nuns Take A Stand After Priest Accused Of Sex Abuse Is Reinstated

Two nuns from a Long Island covenant are taking a stand after church officials at a Greek Orthodox church in Brooklyn, New York reinstated a priest who admitted to having “inappropriate interactions with two adult women." According to the New York Post, an archdiocese “spiritual court” said that Reverend Gerasimos Makris should be banned for his actions, but church officials decided to ignore the recommendation and allowed Makris to return to the pulpit at Holy Cross Church in Bay Ridge after a group of parishioners lobbied Bishop Andonios to let him return. 

“We were informed that the parishioners felt so strongly that they would protest in front of the Archdiocese for the return of their priest,” Andonios explained. 

The pair of nuns, who work with White Field Farms, an organization that helps women who are the victims of sex trafficking, are using the organization's Instagram account to raise awareness of sexual assault within the church. They posed wearing their habits while holding a sign that said #ChurchToo and said that sexual abuse happens "in every Christian denomination including the Orthodox Church."

#ChurchToo Fact : sexual abuse is real. It happens in our families, our local communities, + even our faith communities, in every Christian denomination including the Orthodox Church.  You don’t believe it? Then open your eyes, ears, heart, + if you’re brave enough, stand up + open your mouth!
