The intensification of contacts between the Russian Orthodox Church and a number of Local Churches shows that some systematic and important work is being carried out, the Pravblog Telegram channel notes.
“It is possible that within its framework, the Patriarchs are being informed about the upcoming decisions of the Bishops’ Council of the Russian Orthodox Church and the ground is being prepared for holding a meeting of the “Amman Initiative”, at which the above decisions will be approved by other Local Churches,” the message says.
Earlier, in the Antiochian Patriarchate in Damascus, the Patriarch of Great Antioch and the whole East John X met with the representative of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia under the Patriarchal throne of Antioch, Hegumen Arseniy (Sokolov).
