According to the primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostomos II, the MECC discusses issues such as conflicts in the Middle East.
The Council meets every two years to review the work of the MECC and approve future action.
At the Paphos meeting the MECC will elect a new Presidium and a new Secretary General.
MECC is an autonomous and indigenous fellowship of the four Christian ecclesiastical families of the Middle East, namely Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic.
