Thyatira

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Thyatira, a city in NT times in N. Lydia; the modern Akhisar, now in W. Turkey. It is one of the ‘Seven Churches’ addressed in Rev. (2: 18–29); here it is upbraided for tolerating a ‘Jezebel’ who teaches Christians ‘to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols’ (2: 20). In the 3rd cent. it was a stronghold of Montanism.

In 1922 the head of the newly-founded Orthodox Exarchate of W. Europe was given the title ‘Metropolitan of Thyatira’ by the Patr. of Constantinople. In 1963 the Exarchate was divided and since 1968 the spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox community in Britain has been styled ‘Abp. of Thyatira and Great Britain’.
