Μήνυμα της Α.Μ. του Αρχιεπισκόπου Κύπρου κ.κ. Χρυσοστόμου για την Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδο της Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας

Παρακολουθώντας τις δημόσιες εκφρασθείσες τοποθετήσεις ορισμένων τοπικών Ορθοδόξων Εκκλησιών, σχετικά με την συγκληθησομένη Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδο της Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας, θα επιθυμούσαμε να αναφέρουμε επιγραμματικά τα εξήςː

• Η σύγκληση της Μεγάλης Συνόδου αποφασίστηκε ομόφωνα από δύο Συνάξεις των Προκαθημένων των Ορθοδόξων Εκκλησιών, χωρίς να προβληθεί καμία ένσταση. Το γεγονός αυτό διασφαλίζει την ενότητα και ομοφωνία μεταξύ μας για αυτό και θεωρούμε ότι οποιαδήποτε άλλη θέση ή πρόταση, της τελευταίας στιγμής, απειλεί την ενότητα αυτή και η ευθύνη θα βαραίνει όσους, έστω και άθελά τους, θα συμβάλουν στη διάσπασή της.
• Εάν υπάρχει, εκ μέρους όλων μας, καλή θέληση και αν εμφορούμαστε από το Ορθόδοξο Πνεύμα της αλήθειας και παραδόσεως μας, όλα τα τυχόν προβλήματα, που υπάρχουν στα ήδη συμφωνηθέντα Προσυνοδικώς κείμενα, μπορούν να επιλυθούν άμεσα, ώστε η Αγία και Μεγάλη Σύνοδος να έχει τον απαιτούμενο χρόνο να ασχοληθεί και με θέματα διμερή, τα οποία απασχολούν Αδελφές Εκκλησίες.

Ως εκ τούτου, καλούμε όλες τις κατά τόπους Ορθόδοξες Εκκλησίες να συμμετάσχουν στις εργασίες της Αγίας και Μεγάλης Συνόδου με πνεύμα αγάπης, ταπείνωσης και ομοφροσύνης, ώστε η μαρτυρία μας προς τον κόσμο να είναι δημιουργική και αποτελεσματική εν Χριστώ Ιησού.

Message of His Beatitude
Archbishop Chrysostom of Cyprus
On the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church

Having followed publicly issued statements of certain local Orthodox Churches on the convening of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church, we wish to state the following brief points:

1. The convening of the Great Council was decided unanimously by two Synaxes of the Primates of the Orthodox Churches without any objection being raised. This reality ensures unity and unanimity among us, which is why we believe that any other statement or proposal, at the last moment, jeopardizes this unity; those who are complicit—knowingly or unknowingly—in disrupting this unity will bear the burden.
2. If there exists among us all good will, and if we are inspired by the Orthodox Spirit of truth and our tradition, every potential issue that remains in the already-agreed upon Pre-Conciliar documents can be resolved promptly, so that the Holy and Great Council may have necessary time to also address bilateral matters concerning the Sister Churches.

To this end, we invite all of the local Orthodox Churches to participate in the work of the Holy and Great Council with a spirit of love, humility, and common mind, so that our witness to the world may be fruitful and effective in Christ Jesus.

Mesajul PF. Sale
al Arhiepiscopului Ciprului Hrisostom
pentru Sfântul şi Marele Sinod al Bisericii Ortodoxe

Observând poziţiile publice exprimate de anumite Biserici Ortodoxe locale, în legătură cu convocarea Sfântului şi Marelui Sinod al Bisericii Ortodoxe, dorim să menţionăm pe scurt următoarele:

• Convocarea Marelui Sinod a fost hotărâtă unanim de către două Adunări ale Întâistătătorilor Bisericilor Ortodoxe, fără să existe vreo obiecţie. Acest lucru asigură unitatea şi unanimitatea între noi, de aceea considerăm că oricare altă poziţie sau sugestie, de ultimă oră, ameninţă această unitate şi răspunderea o vor avea cei care, chiar şi fără voia lor, vor contribui la destrămarea ei.
• Dacă există din partea noastră a tuturor bunăvoinţă şi dacă suntem cuprinşi de Duhul Ortodox al dreptăţii şi tradiţiei noastre, eventualele probleme, care există în textele presinodale deja aprobate, pot fi rezolvate de îndată, aşa încât Sfântul şi Marele Sinod să aibă timpul necesar pentru a se ocupa cu subiecte bilaterale, care preocupă Bisericile surori.

Prin urmare, facem apel către toate Bisericile Ortodoxe locale să participe la lucrările Sfântului şi Marelui Sinod în duhul dragostei, smereniei şi al aceluiaşi cuget, încât mărturia noastră către lume să fie creativă şi productivă în Hristos Iisus.
