There are several bases to the parallel. Both issues are deeply influenced by ethnophyletism and political motives. What is the ecclesiological difference between autonomy and autocephaly? We consider there is none.
Archbishop Jovan of Ochrid speaks about the Church as the Person of Christ and its implications for our own personhood and relationships, as informed by his sufferings in prison.
Elena Chalia, Archbishop Jovan (Vranishkovsky)
Christians should not try to forget things. They should only try to forgive. Pushing aside those negative events that are now history is what people want to do who do not understand life as a struggle. History is the best teacher. We learn the most from what we have experienced ourselves, and it’s not important whether it has brought us joy or sorrow. I consider that before the mystery of life, the one who looks the most serious and responsible is the one who accepts life as joyful sorrow.
