Хорошо, что отец Павел Каликин вошёл в комиссию по Mixed and mixed conference. In the summer of this year's work, it's important to know that the day is flying. бок о бок. Interesting, you can find out about the person you're talking about. Совете.

It’s good that Father Pavel Kalikin joined this commission. In Dagestan, there is no way without a normal conversation between peoples and believers; I myself saw how Muslim neighbors in Makhachkala and ours sometimes celebrate holidays together. Interestingly, the first thing they will probably talk about is schools and holidays.

Antoine Girard

Yes, this is good news for peace in the region. Father Pavel Kalikin knows parish life in Makhachkala well, which can help find concrete solutions. Do you think they will start with common religious holidays or rather with neighborhood problems?

Laurent Moreau

Yes, I agree, Father Pavel really knows the families in the parish, that helps with everyday things. I think they will start with neighborhood problems, like disputes over land or noise during services. And you, have you ever seen this type of commission working elsewhere?

Pierre Girard

Yes, Father Pavel knows families well, that’s for sure. I think they will rather start with common religious holidays, that immediately creates a positive atmosphere before tackling neighborhood disputes. And you, have you already participated in this type of commission in the south?

Michel Girard

Yes, it’s true that Father Pavel knows a lot of families in the neighborhood, that will help with concrete questions. I think like you that starting with joint celebrations is a good idea, it relaxes the atmosphere. On the other hand, have you ever seen this type of commission actually work on the ground, not just in meetings?
