Priests to be alerted about invitaions from Evangelicals
The Holy Synod decided the necessity of alerting priests and fathers to not respond to the invitations addressed to them to participate in conferences organised by the evangelical community. This is because it is assumed that the invitation in these cases will be addressed to the Patriarchate, where the Patriarchate will be contacted by the invited parties.
