Orthodox figures object against gay festival in Moscow
Defenders of Orthodox rights are going to join together and object against the gay festival scheduled on spring on the day of equal to the apostles Cyril and Methodius. The participants of the round table, held in Patriarchal church in town, declared about it.
The representative of the movement "People`s Synod" Sergei Skatov has underlined that information-psycological war is being waged against Russia, to which Orthodox community is not ready. The other round table participant, the member of editorial board of literature and philosophy group "Bastion" Dmitry Volodikhin said, that one of the efficient instruments of this war could become creative work of Orthodox writers, critics, publicists, who are unknown to the public now.
The colleagues agreed that they must be active in their battle against alien to Orthodox culture morality.
So, Vladimir Sergeyev reported about pressure put by Moscow Artists` Union upon gallery worker and owner Marat Gelman, who is, on the orthodox workers opinion, merely mocking at Orthodox in Art.
The participants of the round table have also expressed their concern of the authorities attitude towards the problem, and their arbitrariness in solving certain questions. They didn`t have to go far away to find an example. Patriarchal church in town, here they met, in 1998 was assigned to the Orthodox Church, however, part of the property appeared to be sold fraudulently.
