Metropolitan Onufry urges to stop informational war against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

“Today all of us are witnesses to the open planned informational war, which is led against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, using unchecked and sometimes even slanderous information,” the primate said at the annual meeting of the Kiev Diocese, the UOC press service reports.

According to him, such actions lead to “growing tensions in society and threaten internal security and stability in the country.”

The metropolitan urged clerics actively denounce the false information and “certainly, your own life should not give any grounds for journalistic or public discussions, you should as careful as possible, do not give reasons for conflict situations, pay maximal attention to your flock.”

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
