The World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought on ‘Unity of Islam – Unity of Muslims: Foundations of Dialogue’ opened in Moscow on October 19, 2016. The Religious Board of Muslims of the Russian Federation, Moscow Islamic Institute and Secretariat of the Muslim International Forum are among the organizers.

Taking part in the meeting are Muslim, leaders, representatives of state organizations, diplomatic corps of Russia and foreign countries, and members of the academic community.

The Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations was represented by Mr. Ilya Kashitsyn, a staff member of the DECR secretariat for interreligious 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.
