The website of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has published a draft document regulating its attitude to exorcism and the practice of expelling evil spirits, writes RIA Novosti.

“The draft is sent to the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church for feedback, and is also published for the purpose of discussion on the official website of the Inter-Council Presence and on the Parishes Internet portal. The opportunity to leave comments is provided to everyone. The draft document was created by the commission of the Inter-Council Presence on issues of theology and theological education,” the message accompanying the document reads.
