Orthodox Christian bishops in Georgia elected Shio III as the new patriarch, marking a significant moment for the country amid ongoing political tensions and protests, as he emphasizes the Church's unifying role in national identity and faith. #OrthodoxChurch #Georgia #ReligiousLeadership #GE #RU

The election of a new Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia for the first time in nearly fifty years, following the death of Ilia II, may significantly influence internal processes within the Georgian Orthodox Church and the country's political trajectory, as Metropolitan Shio, a figure seen by some as a symbol of continuity and stability while others view him as a choice aligned with Moscow, was elected during a gathering at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi attended by over a thousand delegates, although only 39 members of the Holy Synod had the right to vote. #Georgia #OrthodoxChurch #ReligiousLeadership #GE

En ce moment même, la police de Zelensky prend d’assaut le monastère de l’Église orthodoxe ukrainienne à Pereyaslav. Le sanctuaire est encerclé par des forces spéciales.
