| Inter-Orthodox consultation begins discussion on the nature of the Church/Православие.Ru Inter-Orthodox consultation begins discussion on the nature of the Church Ayia Napa, Cyprus, March 4, 2011 A week-long inter-Orthodox consultation with the aim of studying the World Council of Churches " document, " The Nature and Mission of the Church, " began its work on Thursday, March 3, 2011 here. The aim of the consultation is to offer distinctly Orthodox Christian insights as part of a world-wide discussion of the doctrine of the Church, or " ecclesiology. " The gathering is being hosted by the Orthodox Church of Cyprus. Nearly 40 participants from Oriental and Eastern Orthodox Churches -- Church leaders, university professors, theologians, men and women, and youth, most of whom are members of the WCC " s Commission on Faith and Order -- will discuss the document and produce a common Orthodox response to this important theological text. His Beatitude, Archbishop Chrysostomos II of New Justiniana and All Cyprus, underlined the importance of the theme. “Orthodox theology is primarily ecclesiological,” he said. “Christianity cannot be understood except as the church.... By His incarnation, Christ made all human beings part of His own body. Orthodox contributions to ecumenical theological reflection consist in the fact that Orthodoxy, rather than defending a " confessional " interpretation of ecclesiology, shares the existential experience of the Church. " The Rev. Dr. Olav Fykse Tveit, WCC general secretary, referred to the work of the Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC a decade ago and stressed the Orthodox contribution to ecclesiological reflection.

Photo: The Siberian Times LGBT activists gave a notification of intention to hold two rallies and a march in the Russian town of Salekhard, the closest town to the Arctic Circle, 1200 miles northeast of Moscow.

| Tweet Нравится UOC primate concerned about legalization of homosexual " marriages " in Ukraine Source: Interfax-Religion February 3, 2016 Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine is concerned about the prospect of legalizing homosexual unions in the country. Speaking at the Bishops " Council in Moscow, he recalled that on November 12, 2015, the Supreme Rada approved of the draft on " Introducing Changes in the Codex of Ukrainian Laws on Labor (referring to harmonizing Ukrainian law in correspondence with European law in view of preventing and opposing discrimination), the Russian Church reports on its website. " This law introduces into the Ukrainian legislative field the new terms " sexual orientation, " and " gender identity. " Such novelties can become the first step towards promoting the homosexual lifestyle in Ukraine and attempts to legalize homosexual marriages, " the metropolitan said. He said that the Ukrainian Church, together with other religious organizations, offered alternative formulations to the Rada in order to prevent discrimination without introducing " terms alien to Christian morals " into the legislative field. " Unfortunately, our position has not been heard. Thus, the Bishops " Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church again on January 29, 2016 urged the Ukrainian President to back up traditional moral values and protect people from promoting sinful lifestyles in society, " Metropolitan Onufry said.

| Metropolitan Amphilohije: " NATO bombings are a continuation of fascism " Cetinje, March 30, 2014 In the days when the whole Serbian Church commemorates victims of barbaric bombings during the NATO attack of Yugoslavia in 1999, Metropolitan Amphilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral performed a memorial service at the Cetinje Monastery. Praying for repose of the souls of all innocent victims on the territory of Serbia and Montenegro, the hierarch called the NATO aggression an awful crime, committed in the very heart of Europe: " European peoples, once Christian, marked the second millennium of their Christian history by these bombings of Holy lands, Christian shrines, especially of Kosovo and Metohija. This is a sign that will be remembered by generations and that will serve as a measure of everything that happened late in the 20th to early 21st centuries, " said Metropolitan Amphilohije. In the hierarch’s view, the godless tyranny is continuing its violence towards Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and in recent times the godless tyranny has been sinking its tentacles to Europe. The hierarch has compared the NATO aggression with medieval crusades, which, proclaiming their struggle for the truth and liberation, indeed destroyed the eastern Christian Byzantine Empire, desecrated Holy Sophia and ended up by insolently plundering Christian shrines. Montenegro, 1999 " The godless and tyrannical bombings and NATO violence is a continuation of Nazism and fascism of the 20th century. Hitler too was building a new world order and thus shed the blood of millions of people in Europe, Asia, Africa, " stressed the hierarch. " If what happened with us in 1999 and what is happening now in the spacious territories of Asia and other places is the NATO " s aim, then the building of the new world order is in many ways similar to previous godless orders, " noted the Metropolitan. According to Metropolitan Amphilohije, most surprising is the fact that those people whose ancestors struggled against Hitler " s tyranny and violence, particularly in Montenegro, are currently struggling to become cogs in the tyrannical and godless machine of NATO. Fifteen years ago, NATO barbarically bombed Serbia and Montenegro and as a result the civilian peaceful population mostly became victims. At the present time, the political leaders of Montenegro are waging an intensive propaganda campaign, declaring entry into NATO as one of first priorities. 31 марта 2014 г.

| Abortion becomes “a European value” Brussels, March 16, 2015 The European Parliament has adopted a resolution which recognizes abortion as a fundamental right and also as a part of reproductive rights despite the fact that this issue remains within the framework of national policy of the EU nations’ governments. The so-called “Tarabela Report” called after the Belgian politician Marc Tarabela, has gone beyond the equality between women and men discussion and has become a tool of the radical change of the status of abortion promoting access to it as a fundamental human right, reports the Rosprav.ru website. On the whole the situation is moving towards intensification of the pro-abortion rhetoric in the EU countries and pressure on the countries that defend the life of their citizens before birth. Section 45 of “the Tarabela Report” reads: “…maintains that women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights… have access to contraception and abortion…” The resolution was adopted at the session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg by a vote of 441 to 205 with 52 abstaining. The measure was fully supported by Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (the Socialists and Democrats EP Group). Since the establishment of the European Parliament in 1953 the group has existed under various names and until the elections of 1999 it had had the majority of representatives in the Parliament. It is currently the second largest party by membership in EP. The Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe has described the report as “contradictory” as it considers abortion as a fundamental human right and it (the report) also contradicts the Human Rights Charter of the European Union. The first article of the Charter reads, “Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected.” The second article states, “Each person has a right to life.” This Charter is a document that secures several basic rights. The formulation of this document was coordinated at ministerial level and included in the draft constitution for Europe. “The Tarabela Report” has provoked a protest among the Christian community of EU and a campaign with signatures collection against it has been launched . 170,000 people have already signed the petition against the report. On Thursday the European Parliament is likely to adopt another pro-abortion document: “The Panzeri Report”, named after its author, Pier Antonio Panzeri. Article 15 of this document recognizes abortion “as a means of saving of women’s lives.” The EU Bureaucratic term, “access to reproductive health services,” means promotion of abortions, birth control, and corruption of minors. 18 марта 2015 г.
