| abstract | - Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem (Greek: Η Α. Μακαριότης ο Πατριάρχης Ιεροσολύμων Θεόφιλος Γ' ) (born: 1952 - Ilias Giannopoulos, Ηλίας Γιαννόπουλος) is the current Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem. He is styled "Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine, Syria, beyond the Jordan River, Cana of Galilee, and Holy Zion." Theophilos (also spelled Theofilos or Theophilus) was elected by the Holy Synod of Jerusalem as the 141st primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem on 22 August 2005, confirmed by the pan-Orthodox Synod of Constantinople. The election was endorsed by Jordan on 24 September 2005, as one of the three governments whose endorsement is required. He was enthroned on 22 November 2005, despite Israeli objection. Theophilos had previously petitioned the Israeli government for recognition of the election. Theophilos was elected unanimously by Jerusalem's Holy Synod to succeed the deposed, Irenaios I. Theophilos is regarded as having been more favorable to his deposed predecessor, which may assist him in bringing stability to the troubled patriarchate as Irenaios's supporters may thus unite around him and make peace with the synod. Upon his election, Theophilos said, "In the last few months we have had a lot of problems but with the help of God we will overcome them."[1] Theophilos was formerly the Archbishop of Tabor.
