Выступление на торжественном приеме по случаю восстановления единства Русской православной церкви.Part 2
19 мая 2007 года
Москва, Кремль, Грановитая палата

Over the past few years we have developed unprecedented relations with the Russian Orthodox Church that have helped us achieve key national objectives, both social and educational ones. The clergy has made an invaluable contribution to supporting interreligious and interethnic dialogue and peace in Russia.

The Church Abroad has comparable work experience. It is extremely important for us. And I am confident that the Churchs unity will give it the force to double its efforts and devotion to our Fatherland.

Dear friends!

Of course restoring canonical communion is just the first step towards coming even closer together. You still must overcome many resulting effects of the split and restore our compatriots lost respect for the Motherland. And in general we have to strengthen the unity of the people both within and outside of Russia.

However, the most important thing is that we share a sincere desire to increase the well-being of our Fatherland.

I am sure that the most important work to unite the Russian world will be actively pursued, and that the newly-reunited Russian Orthodox Church will participate in this endeavour.

Allow me to thank all of those who participated in todays event. And to wish you many years of active service to people, to the Church, to the Motherland and to God. Those who put their signatures on this historic document have undoubtedly entered their names not only in the history of the Orthodox Church but also in the history of Russia.
Thank you.
