1) A very interesting statement by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP), which unfortunately I only saw today. The key point of the statement, in my view is where the synod says that it has been discussing its future. Could we be on the verge of a distancing from Moscow?
2) "Another issue that has worried many lately concerns the future of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The Holy Synod states that today this issue is the subject of church discussion. In some dioceses there are meetings of the clergy, who express their position.
3) The information comes to the Primate. The Holy Synod welcomes the possibility of a thorough & comprehensive discussion of issues of church life, as the manifestation of the conciliar nature of the Church. But this process must take place without disturbing the church order.
1) Since the beginning of the war I cannot recall Major Arch. Sviatoslav, of the UGCC, ever criticising Patriarch Kirill directly, but he did so today.
Yesterday Kirill made a speech to teachers, and told them that they should give their students examples of heroic Christians.

2) "the teaching of the Fundamentals of Orthodox culture can in no case be divorced from our life, so you should always fill it with wonderful examples. Of course, from the lives of saints, but also from the lives of our wonderful contemporaries,
3) from the lives of heroes who gave their lives on the battlefields. After all, even today there are so many heroes, so many who sacrifice their lives, their health, defending their homeland.
1) Patriarch Kirill gave an important speech 3 days ago, in which he criticised the West and the Patriarchate of Constantinople, and lashed out against the cancellation of Russian culture.
2) Kirill began by recalling how Peter I “cut through” the window between Russia and the West, but added that now “this window remains open only for mutually respectful dialogue, and not ideological dictate and bossy shouts from outside”.
3) This is a constant refrain from Russian figures, and others in Eastern Europe. Even Pope Francis has spoken about the dangers of “ideological colonisation”, with the west wanting to impose its now godless values on the rest of the world.
1) This interview with Met. Hilarion, of the Department for External Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church, is from 13 May, but I only read it today.
Some interesting details to look at.

2) Perhaps the most important is his insistance that: "in the West the statements of the Patriarch are viewed through the prism of propaganda carried out in the media, and Western politicians cannot adequately assess these statements"
3) This might make sense, were the Patriarch's statements not made public on his website. All the statements I have collected on my blog are not read through the prism of Wester propaganda, they are lifted directly from the homepage of the ROC. And some of them are pretty grim!
