:: ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS want to change anti-semitic texts, says Arutz Sheva

The CReDO News reports: - It is high time to start the dialogue between Orthodox Christianity and Judaism. In light of rising anti-Semitism and other manifestations of nationalism in Russia, our church has to respond to this ugly phenomena and review some of the aspects of its relations with Jews and Judaism, said Rev. Ioann Sviridov, editor-in-chief of the Russian Christian radio-station Sophia.

- Sadly, there are some Orthodox Christians who propagate disgusting anti-Semitism under the banner of Orthodoxy, which is incompatible with Christianity, said Rev. Innokenty Pavlov, professor of theology at Moscow's Biblical Theological Institute.

The dozen Orthodox priests who signed the declaration - some in open defiance of directives from church leadership - represent five different Orthodox churches, including the Russian, Greek, Ukrainian, Georgian and Ecumenical Orthodox Churches, says CReDO.ru

REFLECTION This orthodox statement should be followed by the Christians that still are living with the replacement theology.
