Патріарх_Варфоломій_1.jpgPatriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople expressed confidence that the long-expected All-Orthodox Council will be held soon. According to him, in the beginning of 2011, the penultimate meeting of the preparatory committee will probably be held in the patriarchal center of the Constantinople Patriarchate in Geneva. "+ and it will become a great event," stressed Bartholomew I.

"The Faith is alive and Orthodoxy is alive. Orthodoxy will live and the Holy and Great Council, the preparation of which is coming to the end, will be held," stated the Patriarch of Constantinople

Patriarch Bartholomew noted that the All-Orthodox Council is not only long-expected and needed by the world Orthodoxy but also for the relations between Orthodoxy and other Christian Churches and confessions.

The last, 7th Ecumenical Council was held in Nice in 787, that is 1212 years ago under Empress Irene. It was attended by 367 fathers and is also known as the "Triumph of Orthodoxy."

      Скоріше є спокуса оцінювати по тому, що вони самі про себе скажуть. :))))))))))))))

      Приємна новина. Цікаво, яка магістратура ще буде відкриватися.
