ΕΝΑΣ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΟΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΟΣ ΜΕ ΤΟ ΜΕΡΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΟΥΚΡΑΝΙΑΣ Προσωπικές σκέψεις για την επίθεση της Ρωσίας κατά της Ουκρανίας

                   

Ιωάννης Χρυσαυγής

Λίγοι, ή ίσως και κανένας, θα έφταναν στο σημείο να ισχυριστούν ότι ο Πατριάρχης Κύριλλος, ως επικεφαλής της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας της Ρωσίας (ή «πασών των Ρωσιών», όπως θέλει να λέει), θα μπορούσε να κατηγορηθεί για εγκλήματα κατά της ανθρωπότητας ή για εγκλήματα πολέμου, επειδή δεν απέτρεψε την απροειδοποίητη και αδικαιολόγητη στρατιωτική επίθεση που έχει κοστίσει αρκετές αθώες ζωές τις τελευταίες μόλις ημέρες. Την ίδια στιγμή, πολλοί, αν όχι οι περισσότεροι, θα συμφωνούσαν ότι ο Πρόεδρος Πούτιν πρέπει να λογοδοτήσει για τέτοιες φρικαλεότητες.

ON THE GREAT COUNCIL OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH

Fr. John Chryssavgis, 

Already there is much talk about the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church. Between now and June 19, 2016, when the council officially opens on the island of Crete, there will be many rumors and much spin. Some will be justified; like other patriarchal institutions, Orthodox Churches are not normally known for their transparency. However, other chatter will be less than helpful. What follow are some brief clarifications on basic questions surrounding the council.
