The '''Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece - Kyrikite Synod''' ([[Greek]]: ''Ἐκκλησία Γνησίων Ὀρθοδόξων Χριστιανῶν'') is a Greek Orthodox [[Old Calendarist]] jurisdiction, which broke with the main body of the [[Matthewite Orthodox Church of Greece]] in 2003 after some under the leadership of Metropolitan [[Kirykos Kontogianni]] were opposed to the retirement of Archbishop [[Andreas Anestis]] as Primate of the Synod, which they claimed was due to outside influence. They see themselves as traditional [[Orthodox Christians]] upholding their faith against renovationist and [[ecumenist]] innovations.
