in May and June 1923. Advocating his solution astronomer Milutin Milankovic said that with the proposition of the Serbian delegation (which had previously advocated the newly-introduced state calendar of Greece) the Orthodox Church would have the most precise and most scientific calendar in the Christian world, so it could [page 9] confidently enter any negotiations on the calendar question with Western Churches. An astronomical Easter was adopted, calculated for the meridian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. There follows Chapter 6 Changes in church law are reversed following rejection by the people.
