People in Middle East thank Patriarch Kirill for his efforts to defend Christians in the region

After the Communication Service of the Department for External Church Relations published on August 14, 2014, its statement “On Mass Terror Towards Christians in Iraq”, a letter has come from President Pascale Warda of the Hammurabi Human Rights Organization expressing to His Holiness “profound gratitude for your concerns about our Christian people’s plight living in ongoing genocide” in Iraq. Ms Warda also asks His Holiness Kirill’s prayers for the much-suffering Iraqi Christians.

A letter thanking the Russian Orthodox Church for its consideration for the suffering Christians has also been received from the Apostolic Nunciate in Iraq.

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.
