Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem (Greek: Πατριάρχης Ιεροσολύμων Θεόφιλος Γ'; Arabic: غبطة بطريرك المدينة المقدسة اورشليم وسائر أعمال فلسطين كيريوس كيريوس ثيوفيلوس الثالث, romanized: Ghabṭat baṭriark almādinat almuqadasat awrishālim wasāyir 'aemal filasṭin kiryus kiryus thiufilus althālith; Hebrew: הפטריארך תיאופילוס השלישי של עיר הקודש ירושלים וכל ישראל; born 4 April 1952) is the current Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem since 2005.[1] He is styled "Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine and Israel."[2]
Theophilos (also spelled Theofilos or Theophilus) was elected unanimously on 22 August 2005 by the Holy Synod of Jerusalem as the 141st primate of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem to succeed the deposed Irenaios. His election was confirmed by the Eastern Orthodox synod of Constantinople, and was endorsed by Jordan on 24 September 2005, and subsequently by the Palestinian National Authority, two of the governments ruling lands over his religious jurisdiction.[3] He was enthroned on 22 November 2005, despite initial Israeli objection to the ousting of Irenaios.[4] The Israeli government officially recognised Theophilos' election on 16 December 2007.
Prior to becoming Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos was the Eastern Orthodox Archbishop of Tabor.
