Officials in the Russian Orthodox Church are playing down reports that Pope John Paul II is likely to visit Moscow. Russian prelate and Iranian ayatollah find they share an enemy Moscow (ENI). A meeting of high-ranking representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church and Iran's Islamic government have found common cause in opposing what they see as the principal enemy of their own cultures - Western liberal secular society which, they claim, is trying to impose its social, political and economic values upon the whole world. Orthodox Christianity and Islam are often seen as mutually hostile, particularly in the Balkans. But the obvious enthusiasm between Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Taskhiri, president of Iran's Culture and Islamic Relations Organisation, and Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, head of the external relations division of the Russian Orthodox Church's Moscow Patriarchate, when they embraced each other at the end of a four-day theological dialogue, proves otherwise. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the e-mail type: unsubscribe orthodoxnews Orthodox World News Archives online at: http://www.goarch.org/worldnews ------------------------------------------------------------------ A<>E<>R ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished. -Johann Christoph Schiller, German Writer (1759-1805) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. -Bertrand Russell + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Everyone has the right...to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
