Lukashenko: if we lose Christian values – we lose everything

Minsk, June 3, Interfax - Byelorussian President Alexander Lukashenko says it is inadmissible to rule Christian values out of people's lives.

“Today we should be united as never before as there is a serious strike made against the most important thing that have always united us and brought us up. It is a strike against the foundation, on which we based our lives, against Christian values,” the President said at a meeting with participants in the European Orthodox-Catholic Forum.

“We should stand for Christian values, whatever it costs. If we lose them, we lose everything,” the head of the state said.

He assures that Byelorussians have always been and will be one of the basic cores in the foundation of Christianity as these values are in the foundation of country’s development.

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.
