The most difficult problem today is the claims of Patriarch Bartholomew to be the first in everything, including in power, and in doctrine, in the church structure, says Metropolitan Borysplisky and Brovarskiy Anthony in the videoproject “Faces”.
“This new ecclesiology proposed by Phanar is the main test for pan-Orthodox unity. May God grant us strength, wisdom and spiritual sensitivity to preserve pan-Orthodox unity on the basis of the canonical rules on which the Church has stood for many centuries,” said Metropolitan Anthony.
