The First Invalidly Ordained False Deaconess In The World

The world's first invalid deaconess is Harare Angelic Molen. Orthodox Archbishop Serafim of Zimbabwe, who belongs to the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, invalidly "ordained" her on 2 May.

Serafim told OrthodoxDeaconess.org: "She will do what the deacon does in the liturgy and all the sacraments in our Orthodox services."

Already in 2016, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the whole of Africa decided to "allow" women to be "deacons". Molen works at St Nektarios Parish in Harare. She studies geography and "environmental sciences".

According to her, "the earth is a sacred (sic) gift from God". She insists that "we must protect it from harm and live in harmony with plants, animals and all living things".

Speaking about her fake diaconal ordination, Molen said, "At first I was nervous about entering the altar, but when Metropolitan Serafim blessed me to enter the altar as part of my preparation this week, those feelings went away and I felt comfortable. I am ready".

The invalid ordination followed the unanimous decision of the 2016 Synod of the schismatic Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria.
