Patriarch Daniel said that \u2018the Metropolis\u2019s monastic synaxis has a pastoral, cultural and missionary purpose,\u2019 and \u2018is a need coming from the monastic\u2019s vocation to be a confessor of faith, an intercessor not only for themselves, but for the Church and the nation.\u2019<\/p>\n
