CWNews.com - The Russian Orthodox Church’s chief ecumenical officer has expressed concern about recent and potential regime changes in North Africa and the Middle East.
“Changes in political regimes and a collision of interests of different social forces may lead to uncertainty, violence, and lawlessness,” said Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk. “We have been observing growth in Christianophobia, which may deteriorate into a plunder of Christian churches and killings of Christians.”
“The world community must rise to defend the basic human right to freely choose a religion and to live abiding by the religious norms and principles,” he added.
