About Chrysostom
Born 1953. Chrysostom is a Brazilian archbishop.
Archbishop Dom Chrysostom (Portuguese: Dom Chrisóstomo ['dõ kɾi'zɔstomu]), born Luiz Felipe Muniz Freire, is a Brazilian Orthodox bishop, titled Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro and Olinda-Recife under the Polish Orthodox Church.
As a young member of a group of spiritual seekers, he found Orthodoxy through Metropolitan Gabriel (Rocha) of Lisbon, who baptised him and other seekers on the Feast of Pentecost, 1986. In February 1987, he was ordained a priest into the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece, although the Lisbon Metropolis separated from this very jurisdiction on the same year, signing a union protocol with the Polish Orthodox Church two years later. In 1991, after a period in a monastery in Mafra and already ordained an Archimandrite, he was consecrated, in Grabarka, a residential bishop for Brazil.
