10 November 2009, 11:49Patriarch Kirill will visit Georgia, but it is early to fix dates
Moscow, November 10, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia confirmed his intentions to visit Georgia, but the Moscow Patriarchate officials say it is early to fix exact dates.
"It's rather difficult to speak about probable timing of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia's visit to the Georgian Church," deputy head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archpriest Nikolay Balashov told an Interfax-Religion correspondent.
Georgian mass media have recently reported that during their meeting in Baku Patriarch-Catholicos of All Georgia Ilia II invited Patriarch Kirill to visit his country and received consent.
Fr. Nikolay confirmed that during the Baku meeting Ilia II "repeated his invitation to visit the Georgian Orthodox Church as earlier he conveyed such invitations to Patriarch Kirill with the Georgian Patriarchate delegations that visited Moscow."
"Patriarch Kirill confirmed his intention to officially visit local Orthodox Churches in compliance with the Dyptich order (liturgical order of commemorating primates of Orthodox Churches - IF)," the interviewee of the agency said.
According to him, today only the dates of Patriarch Kirill's visit to the Alexandrian Patriarchate, which the second in the Dyptich, are discussed.
In July 2009, Patriarch Kirill made the first official visit to the local Orthodox Church and visited the Constantinople Patriarchate.
Today the liturgical list of local Orthodox Churches mentioned by the Primate consists of 15 jurisdictions in the following order: the Constantinople Church, the Alexandrian Church, the Antioch Church, the Jerusalem Church, the Russian Church, the Georgian Church, the Serbian Church, the Romanian Church, the Bulgarian Church, the Cyprus Church, the Greek Church, the Albanian Church, the Polish Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia and the Orthodox Church in America. |
