Summary of Archbishop Hilarion’s Address
to the Diocesan Conference 24 November 2007

Greetings to all assembled here today.

First of all, we give thanks to God for all His blessings to our diocese during last 3 years. Freedom of worship, which is lacking in many countries even today. In Russia until recent years Orthodox Christians endured unprecedented persecution for the Faith.

During last 3 years there were many joyous events, but also quite a lot of uneasiness and turmoil in connection with the dialogue of our Church with the Moscow Patriarchate. (more…)

– Your Eminence: in May of this year, the long-awaited reunification of the two branches of the Russian Orthodox Church took place. Of course, the full meaning of this event can only be understood with time. How do you evaluate the results of the reestablishment of Eucharistic communion between the ROC and the ROCOR?
