New Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch

benedict-and-kirillAs a general rule the website is generally not going to be used for posting news. But this story is an attention-getter, particularly for those who read the book or saw the movie, Shoes of the Fisherman. If you remember, the Pope elected in the story was Kirill the I, the same name as the new Patriarch of Russia, the largest of the Orthodox Churches.

The more news worthy part of the story is the new Patriarch’s sincere interest in reconciling the Western and Eastern parts of the Church. So, in case you missed the story, click here to read more.
