I recently received an e-mail with some practical questions about how people should deal with the implications of the mess created by Constantinople's incursion into the canonical territory of the Russian Church, and their embrace of unrepentant and unordained schismatics in Ukraine.
The Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, after careful deliberation on recent developments in the sphere of inter-Orthodox relations, makes the following statement...
Metropolitan Nikiforos of Kykkos and Tellyria
Met. Nikiforos made the important point that in the current canonical crisis the Orthodox Church, monastics have the particular obligation not to keep silence, but apply all their strength and work toward a resolution.
Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol

Fr. Emmanuel Hatzidakis
