ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH: PRAYER AND COMPLIANCE WITH HYGIENE GUIDELINES


One distances oneself from the other in order to avoid catching or spreading the deadly virus. Both the church and the state are doing well for taking measures to protect people,” Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew said in his new statements.

“We are all watching these rigorous, and sometimes useful, measures that were taken in order to protect us,” he continued.

“A few days ago the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate issued a communiqué urging us to respect and comply with the hygiene guidelines as proposed by state authorities, especially the health ones,” he added.
“Moreover, the Church advises us to pray. To be law-abiding citizens. To listen to what the state is saying when it comes to our personal health,” concluded the Ecumenical Patriarch.
