Theodore I (Jerusalem)

Theodoros ( bl. Around 670) was bishop in Hesbon and administrator ( locum tenens , Topoteretes ) of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem .

Theodoros sent the monk Andreas of Crete and another elderly monk named George as a representative of the Patriarchate to the Council of Constantinople 680-681 . He was not dubbed a patriarch , but merely a proedros (president). According to a source from 1660, Theodoros was exiled by the Muslim rulers to a place 2,000 miles from Jerusalem.

According to all sources, he was not recognized as the Patriarch of Jerusalem, but remained Bishop of Hesbon.
