The independence of the Ukrainian Church disrupts the geopolitical balance of Orthodox Christianity

12 Dec 2022  |  La Libre.be  |  French  |  Orthodox Christianity

The declaration of independence for the Ukrainian Church by Patriarch Bartholomew I in 2019 and the North Macedonian Church in 2022 has disrupted the geopolitical balance within Orthodox Christianity. The Russian Church opposes this move, viewing it as a challenge to its canonical territory. The decision is part of a historical rivalry between Constantinople and Moscow, with Bartholomew seeking to assert influence over Ukraine, a key region for Orthodox Christianity. This has strained relations with Patriarch Kirill of Russia and drawn criticism from President Erdogan of Turkey.

25 Dec 2023  |  nilepost.co.ug  |  English  |  Christianity

Christians celebrate Christmas to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God and savior of humanity. The celebration, rooted in Christian theology and tradition, includes religious observances, family gatherings, gift exchanges, and acts of charity.
