Patriarch Meletius II Doumani (Arabic: البطريرك ملاتيوس الثاني دومانيal-Baṭriyark Milātiyūs aṯ-Ṯānī Dūmānī; 1839 – 1906)
Meletius II Al-Doumani of Antioch. Years 1899 to 1906 as Patriarch.
Meletius II was elected by the members of the Antiochian Holy Synod in 1898, with the exception of 3 Greek bishops who refused to elect him. These 3 Greek bishops soon resigned from their dioceses (Aleppo, Erzurum, Cilicia), and they departed from the Church of Antioch in protest. The protest was joined by Patriarch Sophronius IV of Alexandria and Patriarch Damian of Jerusalem. As a consequence of the influence of Patriarch Constantine V (Valiadis) of Constantinople, who also protested, the Ottoman Sultan did not issue the usual decree of recognition. This came only a year later, after the great efforts exerted by Kemal Bak al-Qazh, the Undersecretary of the Antiochian Chair in Constantinople (Istanbul). Thus, the manifest will of the Patriarchate of Antioch was accomplished.
He was the first Arab and the first Syrian primate of non-Greek descent in 168 years.
