CWN - Officials of the Moscow Patriarchate, joined by Catholic Archbishop Paolo Pezzi of Moscow, traveled to Lebanon and Syria to meet with local Christian leaders and assess the best ways to assist Syria’s persecuted Christians.
The Moscow Patriarchate described the effort as an outgrowth of the meeting between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill in Havana.
“One of the priority tasks for the nearest future is to compile a detailed list of Christian shrines, churches and monasteries destroyed and damaged during the war in Syria and to intensify the common witness of Christians to the Syrian tragedy,” according to the patriarchate.
