In the Metropolis of Tripoli, Father Arseny was received by Metropolitan Ephraim of Tripoli (Patriarchate of Antioch). He raised the question of pastoral care for the Russian Orthodox faithful living in northern Lebanon. Metropolitan Ephraim suggested that Russian Orthodox Christians use for divine services the chapel in the metropolis’ building.

In conclusion of the meeting, Father Arseny presented Metropolitan Ephraim with a copy of Patriarch Kirill’s book Freedom and Responsibility published in Arabic in Lebanon, the website of the ROC Beirut representation has reported.

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.
