On April 12, 2013, the Supreme Church Council of the Russian Orthodox Church met for a regular meeting at the Supreme Church Council Hall in the Church of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. The meeting was chaired by His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. He made introductory remarks. Bishop Sergiy of Solnechnogorsk made a report on the work carried out by the Moscow Patriarchate’s administrative secretariat in 2012 and the secretariat’s plans for 2013. The Supreme Council considered draft documents submitted by the Moscow Patriarchate’s financial and economical office on Provision for Boards of Guardians of Religious Organizations in the Diocesan Structure of the Russian Orthodox Church and Provision on Commission of Trustees and Mutual Aid Fund under the Diocesan Administrations of the Russian Orthodox Church’ Dioceses. Mr. V. Legoida, chairman of the Synodal Information Department, made a report on the formation of a single information space of the Russian Orthodox Church.

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.
