Yeah, I wondered the same thing. The article only mentions the meeting, but does not say anything concrete about the topics - whether they talked about helping refugees, common prayer, or something else. Perhaps a more detailed statement from the Patriarchate will appear.
Yes, Ioana, I also read the article twice and still nothing concrete. Maybe a statement from the Patriarchate will appear with the details, as you say. Do you think he would have also talked about the situation in Ukraine or only about helping refugees?
It’s true, the article remains very vague on the content of the discussions. I would have liked to know if they mentioned the situation of communities in Eastern Europe or simply questions of general ecumenism. Do you have any idea what might be a priority for them right now?
Yes, Ioana, that's right, the article is a bit dry. I would be surprised if he didn't touch on the subject of refugees, because it's a problem that hits directly in our border parishes. Do you think that the Patriarchate will issue that communiqué in Romanian or only in English?
Yes, Ioana, the article really gives the impression that they only stayed for handshakes and pictures. I would be surprised if they didn't also talk about how the parishes deal with the practical aids, because here in the north, the truck drivers see what happens at the border every day. Do you think there will be an official statement though?
