'''Archbishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) (1912-1979)'''


Theodore may be spelt Theodoros.


==Early life of Theodore Kokkinakis==

Theodore Kokkinakis was born in 1912 on the island of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patmos Patmos] (one of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecanese Dodecanese Islands]) near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey Turkey].  It is now part of [https://www.britannica.com/place/Greece Greece].  

Theodore received his primary and secondary education on the island.  Because the Dodecanese Islands belong to the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_of_Constantinople Patriarchate of Constantinople], he was raised in the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Introduction_to_Orthodox_Christianity Orthodox Christian Faith] in his homeland.

==Higher education, 1932==

In 1932, Theodore Kokkinakis entered the [http://orthodoxwiki.org/Theological_School_of_Halki Theological School of Halki].  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heybeliada Halki] (also known as Heybeliada Island) is one of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princes%27_Islands Princes' Islands] in the [https://www.britannica.com/place/Sea-of-Marmara Sea of Marmora], about 18 km (11 mi) southeast of [https://www.britannica.com/place/Istanbu Istanbul].  

In 1934, Theodore graduated from the Theological School of Halki.  The title of his thesis was "The Anthropology of Saint Gregory of Nyssa".

==Move to USA ; further studies, 1936==

In 1936, Theodore travelled to the [https://www.britannica.com/place/United-States USA] and he undertook further studies at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Theological_Seminary General Theological Seminary], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University Columbia University], in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_(state) Columbia University New York], and in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwestern_University Northwestern University] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evanston,_Illinois Evanston], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois Illinois].

==Diaconal ordination, 1934==

Theodore Kokkinakis was ordained to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Deacon Diaconate] by Bishop Emilianos of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_of_Miletus Miletus], Greece.

==Diaconal service==

Deacon Theodore Kokkinakis served as a Deacon in the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_of_Alexandria Patriarchate of Alexandria] from 1934 to 1935. 

Deacon Theodore was then transferred, and he was assigned to service in the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_North_and_South_America Archdiocese of North and South America] from 1935 to 1940.

==Presbyteral ordination, 1940==

In 1940, Deacon Theodore Kokkinakis was ordained to the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Presbyter Holy Priesthood] by [[Patriarch Athenagoras (Spyrou) |Archbishop Athenagoras (Spyrou)]].  At that time, he was given the name Athenagoras.

==Pastoral service==

Priest Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was assigned first to the [http://www.standreworthodox.org/ Church of Saint Andrew] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Chicago Chicago], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Illinois-state Illinois].

The parishioners benefitted from Father Athenagoras' pastorate.  They recognised that he was a profound scholar and an able administrator.  The parish began to grow significantly under his leadership.  During this time, the mortgage of the church was retired. 

Father Kokkinakis conceived the idea of a new building complex to better serve the needs of the rapidly expanding parish.  He was instrumental in persuading the congregation to acquire the property on Sheridan and Hollywood as the site of the new Temple.  However, he was not able to stay long enough to complete the project.  Nevertheless, the project was pursued by his successors, and the Temple was constructed in due course.  

In 1945, Priest Athenagoras Kokkinakis was assigned to the [http://www.saintdemetriosastoria.com/cathedral/index.html Church of Saint Demetrios] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria,_Queens Astoria, New York]. While there, he served as editor of the “[https://www.goarch.org/news Greek Orthodox Observer]”, the archdiocesan magazine.

==Episcopal ordination, 1950==

On 14 September, 1950, Priest Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was chosen by the [http://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Synod_of_Constantinople Holy Synod of Constantinople] to be a [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Bishop bishop].  His ordination to the Holy [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Episcopate Episcopate] took place that year at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archdiocesan_Cathedral_of_the_Holy_Trinity Cathedral of the Holy Trinity] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York], led by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City Archbishop Michael (Konstantinides) of North and South America], along with [http://orthodoxwiki.org/Germanos_(Polyzoides)_of_Hierapolis Bishop Germanos (Polyzoides) of Nyssa], [https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=el&u=http://markmarkou.sites.sch.gr/1979/koim/athenagoras_kokkinakis.htm&prev=search&pto=aue Bishop Gerasimos] of Chicago and [http://orthodoxwiki.org/Orestes_(Chornock)_of_Agathonikeia Bishop Orestes (Chornock)] of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/American_Carpatho-Russian_Orthodox_Diocese American Carpatho-Russian Diocese].  He was given the title "Bishop of [http://www.greecetravel.com/peloponessos/eleia.htm Eleia]" (in Greece).


[[File:Athenagoras kokkinakis 1.jpg]]  '''Bishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis)'''

==Episcopal service==

Bishop Athenagoras was initially assigned to oversee the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_United_States western portion of the USA] from the [https://www.annunciation.org/ Annunciation Cathedral] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/San-Francisco-California San Francisco,] [https://www.britannica.com/place/California-state California]. 

From 1950 to 1955, Bishop Athenagoras served as Hierarchical Commissioner in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles Los Angeles], California.  

In 1954, Bishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was transferred to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston Boston], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts Massachusetts], and he was given the pastoral responsibility for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England New England] region.  At the same time, he was appointed to be the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_(education) Dean] of [http://www.hchc.edu/ Holy Cross Seminary] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Brookline Brookline], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Massachusetts Massachusetts].  He resigned the deanship in 1959.  

From 1955 to 1960, Bishop Athenagoras served as Hierarchical Commissioner in Boston.

==Service in Canada, 1960==


On 6 September, 1960, Bishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was elevated to the dignity of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_bishop metropolitan].  

At the same time, his title was adjusted to be "[https://orthodoxwiki.org/Titular_bishop Titular] Metropolitan of Elaia". ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaea_(Aeolis) Elaia] was a city near [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smyrna Smirna], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia Anatolia].)  

At that time, he was assigned by [[Patriarch Athenagoras (Spyrou)]] to oversee the parishes in Canada that belonged to the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_America Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America].  He was the first bishop to be assigned for Canada, and he lived in [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/toronto Toronto], [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/ontario Ontario].  It is probable that [[Toronto ON Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church of Toronto 1909 |Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church]] in Toronto served as his cathedral.  

In 1961, during the time of his archpastoral supervision, he blessed the purchase of a pre-existing building and the opening of [[Toronto ON Annunciation to the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Cathedral 1961 |Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church]] in Toronto (under the [http://www.greekcommunity.org/ Greek Community of Metropolitan Toronto]).

As a bishop of the Archdiocese of the Americas, he attended the [http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/oberlin.aspx Faith and Order North American Research Conference] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberlin,_Ohio Oberlin], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio Ohio], and he delivered the address on behalf of Orthodox Christian delegates.

From 1960 to 1963, Metropolitan Athenagoras served as Hierarchical Commissioner in Canada. 

On 10 December, 1963, Metropolitan Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was elected to become Metropolitan of Thyateira and Great Britain.

==Transfer to the United Kingdom, 1963==

On 10 December, 1963, Metropolitan Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was transferred to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom United Kingdom], according to the decision of the [http://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Synod_of_Constantinople Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate].  He became then the Metropolitan of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_Thyateira_and_Great_Britain Diocese] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyatira Thyateira] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_Thyateira_and_Great_Britain and Great Britain].  This metropolitical responsibility included at that time service as Exarch for all the parishes of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_of_Constantinople Ecumenical Patriarchate] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe Western Europe], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Sweden Sweden], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Norway Norway], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Iceland Iceland] and [https://www.britannica.com/place/Malta Malta]. 

Soon after his arrival in [https://www.britannica.com/place/London London], [https://www.britannica.com/place/England England], he visited the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_See Vatican] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Italy Italy], where he participated in negotiations about the details of a pending meeting between [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Paul_VI Pope Paul VI] and [[Patriarch Athenagoras (Spyrou)]] of Constantinople.  

As soon as Metropolitan Athenagoras arrived in [https://www.britannica.com/place/London London], [https://www.britannica.com/place/England England], he took up the leadership of the Greek Orthodox Church in Britain.  His first concern was to acquaint the leaders of the parishes with the fact that the Archbishop's Trust had been created.  This subsequently undertook the finding and purchase of an appropriate building for the accommodation of the archdiocesan offices.  He asked all the economically well-off people to help the work of the Church, and indeed they participated in the acquisition of the building subsequently named "Thyateira House", at [http://www.thyateira.org.uk/contact_us/ 5 Craven Hill, London] W2 3EN (Ecumenical Patriarchate's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_Thyateira_and_Great_Britain Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain]).  He then asked the clergy to include office staff and specifically a secretary. 

[https://www.thyateira.org.uk/archdiocese/formerarchbishops/former-archbishops/ Archimandrite Gregory (Theocarous)] recommended N Poulio to be the secretary.  His recruitment was in October, 1964.  From that date on, there was a deluge of circulars sent to everyone who could help the Church.  These helpers worked with the scant means available at that time in the Office. 

'''Patience, prayer and labour accomplish much'''

The metropolitan worked assiduously.  His vision was to create Temples, and parish centres around the Temples, in every region where there was a Greek population ; and to this work, he dedicated every day.  

Metropolitan Athenagoras worked hard, and his care for everything was unstoppable.  Wherever an ecclesiastical or parochial event took place, he, with his presence, established the foundations of the Church and of [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Hellenism Hellenism] in that community.  Under the term of service of Metropolitan Athenagoras, the development of the archdiocese was impressive.  

In 1967, the Ecumenical [[Patriarch Athenagoras (Spyrou)]], who was also the spiritual father of Metropolitan Athenagoros, visited [https://www.britannica.com/place/United-Kingdom Great Britain].  The patriarch was very favourably impressed with the work that Metropolitan Athenagoras had done in only a few years. 

In early 1968, the see was elevated to the dignity of an [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Diocese archdiocese].  Accordingly, on 24 February, 1968, Metropolitan Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) was elevated to the dignity of [https://5rkbu4d3yx22fo5ovet6iaxhjm-jj2cvlaia66be-wikiorg-ru.translate.goog/wiki/%D0%90%D1%80%D1%85%D0%B8%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF archbishop].  

He then became the Archbishop of Thyateira and Great Britain.  At the same time, as new dioceses in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe Western Europe] were established ([https://www.britannica.com/place/France France], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Germany Germany], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Austria Austria]), the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain was redefined to encompass only the [https://www.britannica.com/place/British-Isles British Isles] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta Malta].  

'''Inter-Christian activities'''

Archbishop Athenagoras was a leading figure in the so-called “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenism ecumenical movement]”.  He represented the Ecumenical Patriarchate at conferences organised under the auspices of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Council_of_Churches World Council of Churches].  Derivative of this, as a bishop at that time of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_North_and_South_America Archdiocese of North and South America], he participated in the [http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/oberlin.aspx North American Faith and Order Study Conference in Oberlin, Ohio], and he delivered a key address on behalf of the Orthodox delegates.  He was president of the [http://www.oikoumene.org/en/press-centre/news/the-fourth-panorthodox-preconciliar-conference-met-in-chambesy-geneva 4th Pan-Orthodox Conference] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Belgrade Belgrade], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Serbia Serbia], in 1967.  

He served as a member of the Subcommittee of the [https://www.anglicancommunion.org/ecumenism/ecumenical-dialogues/orthodox.aspx Mixed Commission on Orthodox-Anglican Dialogue].  He also represented the Patriarchate of Constantinople in conferences held under the auspices of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Council_of_Churches World Council of Churches].  

The modernisation and the development of the archdiocese included a series of reforms concerning the relationship of the archdiocese with the other institutions of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeks_in_the_United_Kingdom Greek] and [https://cypriotfederation.org.uk/ukcypriots/ Cypriot Diaspora] in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Great-Britain-island-Europe Great Britain], namely the organisation of the educational projects of its communities, the publication of journals ("Orthodox Herald", the official pastoral publication), the election of new, efficient bishops, and the successful handling of the "deluge" of refugees that arrived as a consequence of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_invasion_of_Cyprus invasion of Cyprus by the Turkish Army in 1974].  

Sadly, in 1977-1978 there was discovered and diagnosed cancer of the large intestine.  He underwent surgery, but in 1979 the cancer metastasised and overtook him.  His colon had therefore been totally removed, as a consequence of which he had become physically exhausted.

==Repose, 1979==

On 9 September, 1979, Archbishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) reposed in Christ as a result of a heart attack, in Great Britain. 

After the [http://www.archbishop-of-ottawa.org/content/burial-services-over-presbyter-or-over-bishop Services of the Burial of a Hierarch], his body was probably interred in Great Britain.

==Reflections==

The life and work accomplished by Archbishop Athenagoras (Kokkinakis) during his service in Great Britain was essential and important for the creation of the Temples and parish centres of Hellenism for those who for many decades lived and worked in this country.

Archbishop Athenagoras was of a keen mind, and he was knowledgeable beyond the capability of most other bishops.  Paper and pencil were used only when he was going to write something deeply theological.  Everything was dictated by heart, which forced the secretary to learn shorthand.  His secretary saw the great intelligence of the archbishop.  The archbishop was an organised and organisational man.  The archdiocese that he had undertaken to lead had many shortcomings.  At that time, and since that time, some could discern the activity of the Hand of God, particularly since those who worked with him laboured to create the office of the archdiocese that enveloped and accomplished everything without the help that the computer now offers.
