Russian Orthodox Church elects Kirill 16th patriarch

Posted by Deacon Jim on Jan 27, 2009 in Christian Witness, Current Events |

Patriarch KIRILL

Thanks to the Young Fogey for the lead on this. The L.A. Times reports:

“It is with humility and full understanding of my responsibility that I accept the divine choice through which I am being handed the mission to serve as patriarch,” Kirill said after the results of a secret vote were announced. “At the center of this mission is the cross of Christ.”

Amen and Sto Lat!
