On December 18, 2015, the Special Inter-Orthodox Commission for Preparing the Pan-Orthodox Council completed its session in Athens.
The session, which lasted since December 16 and was chaired by Metropolitan John of Pergamon (Patriarchate of Constantinople), was attended by representatives of fourteen Local Orthodox Churches. The Moscow Patriarchate was represented by a delegation led by the chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations (DECR), Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk. The delegation included Archpriest Nikolay Balashov, DECR vice-chairman, and the Rev. Anatoly Churyakov, an interpreter.
The work launched by the commission to draft the procedure of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church will be continued in the pre-council process.
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.
