Moscow, July 19, Interfax - Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople addressed his message to Ukrainian journalists and called the conflict in Donbass "a fratricidal war."
“We send our blessing, love and concern for each and every Ukrainian, without any exception. We pray for the unity of the Ukrainian people. We pray for peace in Ukraine. Our hope is that fratricidal war would cease,” he said in his message posted by official website of the Constantinople Patriarchate.
Commenting the patriarch’s message, NG-Religii supposes that Patriarch Bartholomew’s address is also “a signal to the Moscow Patriarchate that Constantinople wants to start a dialogue and improve bilateral relations.”
“The question is to what degree the Ecumenical Patriarch is ready to compromise and waive his ambitions,” the edition wonders.
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.
