Speaking in Istanbul after the Divine Liturgy, the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians said that “the possibility of a new war in Europe, resulting from the escalation of violent rhetoric and militarization of the borders between Russia and Ukraine, should be unequivocally opposed.”

“We call for enduring peace, stability and justice in the region,” the patriarch said. “Peace is a matter of choice and must be shared by all the forces engaged in this extremely complex and sensitive geopolitical context.”

While urging prayer and action toward a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the protection of human rights and dignity, Bartholomew declared that “war and violence are certainly to be opposed with every fiber of our being.”

Citing Benjamin Franklin, who said “there never was a good war or a bad peace,” the patriarch added that war “can appear sweet only to those who have not experienced it.”

“We firmly believe that there is no solution possible to preserve and guarantee peace outside the path of dialogue, which abolishes the conditions that lead to violence and war,” he asserted. “Peace comes from mutual respect and cooperation.”

Bartholomew underscored that “the word of the Church has to be a clear message of reconciliation and peace, of love and justice, of brotherhood and solidarity” as he urged “all parties involved to pursue this path of dialogue and respect for international law, in order to bring an end to the conflict and allow all Ukrainians to live in harmony.”

“Arms are not the solution,” he continued. “On the contrary, they can only promise war and violence, sorrow and death.”

“All Church ministers, all representatives of religious traditions, all those in position of authority, all people of good will, each one of us, should call for a peaceful resolution of this dangerous escalation of words and means that weigh heavily and ominously upon the head of the Ukrainian people,” he exhorted.

“Silence and indifference are not an option,” the patriarch concluded. “There is no peace without constant vigilance.”

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
