Kremlin emphasizes demand for dialog between authorities, religious organizations

Role of religious organizations in maintaining spiritual and cultural identity of Russian ethnicities and their contribution to the implementation of the state policy on adaptation of migrant workers have been discussed at the meeting.

Dialog and partnership between religious organizations and various civil society institutions is in special demand amid the conditions, when the world faces serious issues and risks – growth of ethnic intolerance, traditional values washing away and devaluating, and substitution of moral and ethic guides, Ivanov said.

Russia’s spiritual leaders always consistently supported state and public unity and brought closer people of difference ethnicities and believes, Ivanov said. These organizations have high authorities and adherents among migrant workers listen to the opinion of Russian religious leaders, he said.

State bodies jointly with religious associations are able to build efficiently work on adapting migrant workers to the cultural, integral, language and legal field of Russia, the Kremlin administration head said

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.
