17721828-18451845
the Ecumenical Patriarch for the Church of Constantinople in 1845. He was protosynkellos during the tenure of Patriarch Agathangelos of Constantinople. In August 1828, Meletius was elected metropolitan of Amaseia in northern Turkey, succeeding Metropolitan Neophytus who had resigned. During his term as patriarch, Meletius merged the bishopric of Lambi with the Diocese of Crete and issued, in May 1845, a patriarchal sigillion forbidding the use of the facilities of the Theological School of Halki as a residence by prelates including former patriarchs. He also initiated changes for the head coverings worn by the Gregorian Armenian priests.
