Мир наистина започва от корена, както пишат Тодор и Васил. В нашата църковна градина зад храма също поливаме всеки ден, иначе бурените ще заглушат всичко. Интересно ми е дали от тази среща в Корея са решили да пратят конкретна делегация в Палестина или Украйна, или пак ще остане само на affirmation.
