The head of the Armenian Apostolic Church greeted His Holiness Patriarch Kirill with the Holy Pascha and thanked him for his attention to the Armenian community in Moscow.

The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church warmly greeted the high guest and noted that the Moscow Patriarchate and the Armenian Apostolic Church maintained a high level of mutual trust in their relationships.

The participants in the meeting emphasized that the mission of Christian Churches in the life of modern society was tremendously important and manifold. The Christian Churches often play a key part in preserving peace and understanding between the nations.

His Holiness Patriarch Kirill expressed his condolences to Patriarch and Catholicos Karekin II over the tragedy which had occurred in March in Kessab, a Syrian town with the predominantly Armenian population. Some issues of mutual interest were also discussed at the meeting.

Representing the Armenian Apostolic Church was Archbishop Ezras (Nersisyan), head of the New Nakhichevan and Russia diocese. Also present at the meeting were Archimandrite Philaret (Bulekov), vice-chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations, and Hieromonk Stefan (Igumnov), DECR secretary for inter-Christian relations.

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.
