From RISU (Religious Information Service of Ukraine).
Russian shell oldest church in Kherson: Cells completely burned down [risu.ua]
I'm not at all surprised. There are a lot of westerners that have no idea what's going on in Ukraine. Keep in mind, the Moscow Patriarch SUPPORTS this war, so, I don't think I'm out of line for feeling like people who claim that Ukraine is engaging in religious persecution are a bit hypocritical.

And, dear Adamcsc, in America those people elected an administration whose misguided bumbling is making matters far worse. Instead of teaming with our allies and keeping up the pressure on Putin, they have given him precious time to regroup and make gains.

Yah, I know......this take on the subject should be in " Town Hall".....perhaps.
But, hey why not here?..... since the Trump agenda is to " destroy" the Johnson Amendment anyhow. The IRS has just been directed to ignore the amendment......so "Church News" can be political right?

Christ is in our midst!!

Hutsul,

I agree with you. This should be in Town Hall, but I'm leaving it here. The administration can't make up its mind and has given Putin time to regroup. The whole thing is a mess. And I want to "shake the dust from my shoes" against all the players.
