The ROC is ready to formally formulate its position on the acts of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. This was stated by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.

“The upcoming Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church will assess what we are now seeing in the Orthodox world, and if it pleases the Holy Spirit and the assembled bishops, it will make a decision regarding the position of our Church in relation to the acts of Constantinople,” said the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
