Events of 1934-1935, leading up to the consecration of bishops...

That year (1934), it was revealed with dismay that the Administrative Council of the "Community" [of the G.O.C.] had secretly made a reprehensible maneuver since 1931, accepting the commemoration of the Innovator Archbishop in order to secure clergy to meet the needs of the Genuine Orthodox. This action was considered a betrayal of the principles of the Sacred Struggle, and in August of that year, a new Administrative Council was elected.

It then proceeded with an official Declaration of Renunciation of the Innovator Archbishop, as well as the "official Orthodox Church," because it had become schismatic, along with a decision to seek out "canonical Bishops" to whom the "leadership of the Church" could be entrusted. This Declaration of Renunciation was also signed by prominent Zealot Athonite Hieromonks and Spiritual Fathers, who constituted the temporary spiritual leadership of the Genuine Orthodox.
