On 28th June 2019, while in Greece with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations, met in Thessaloniki with His Beatitude Patriarch Theodoros of Alexandria and All Africa.

The participants in the meeting, held at Makedonia Palace Hotel, exchanged opinions on various issues pertaining to the bilateral relations between the Orthodox Church of Alexandria and the Russian Orthodox Church, as well to the inter-Orthodox relations. The meeting took place in the atmosphere of trust and cordiality.

That same day Metropolitan Hilarion took part in a ceremony of blessing an office building belonging to Atlantis Pak Company, with its restoration funded by a Russian entrepreneur, Mr. Ivan Savvidi. The ceremony was led by His Beatitude Patriarch Theodoros of Alexandria and All Africa. Among those present were Metropolitans Anthimos of Thessaloniki, Dimitrios of Irenoupolis and Georgios of Guinea; clerics of the Metropolis of Thessaloniki of the Greek Orthodox Church; as well as the DECR staff members accompanying Metropolitan Hilarion: Archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, secretary for inter-Orthodox relations, and Hieromonk Grigory (Sokolov).

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.
