Best Answer

These are led by the priest in Church. Lay people do not lead prayers in Church. In some instances, such as during Vigil services, the priest will start the prayers, and then lay people continue to read them. But where a priest is present with lay people, only he can lead the prayers.

Can a gay person christen a baby in the greek orthodox church?

The Orthodox Church does not divide persons into gay or straight, so neither is a qualification for god-parenting.

Consequently, there would be no objection to any person, gay-straight-or otherwise, who is practicing the Orthodox faith, leads a chaste life-style, and is in good standing in her/his local Orthodox community.
