Who are the Three Hierarchs?
The title Three Hierarchs refers to three holy men of God from the 4-5th centuries AD – Basil the Great, John Chrysostom, and Gregory the Theologian. All Christians are indebted to these “Pillars of Faith” for their defense of the Divinity of Jesus Christ and their faithful articulation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. For their extraordinary pastoral and theological prowess they are called “Great Hierarchs and Universal Teachers.” From the website of Three Hierarchs Church, Wenatchee, Washington
