On October 16-18, 2008, with your Primatial Blessing the First International Educational Holy Protection Readings were held, having gathered more that 230 participants from all over Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Italy and Germany. Your Beatitude was unanimously chosen Honorary Chairman of the Holy Protection International Educational Readings. For three days the plenary sessions and the sessions of the sections, presentations and round-table discussions were held. By the results of the three day work the Resulting Document was approved, and the collection of the scientific papers of the Readings will be published. The participants recognized the growing need of the Orthodox testimony in the rapidly changing and globalizing world. It is the Christian spiritual values and the cultural developments of the Orthodoxy that can prevent the deep ideological crisis the Ukrainian society undergoes. The assurance was expressed that the forum unites the efforts of the Church and society in assertion of the Christian values as support of the state and personal development.Giving praise to the Lord for the joy of communication and fruitful cooperation, the participants and guests of the First International Educational Readings will make the efforts to raise the level of the true spirituality of the society and the further development of the gospel witness in all the realms of being. The forum participants extend heartily gratitude to Your Beatitude for the greeting, the archpastoral blessing and sermon, as well as for the constant attention and personal participation in the development of all kinds of the church witness in the modern society and in the unification of forces of the best sons and daughters of Ukraine for the service to God and Motherland. The organisers, participants and guests of the First International Educational holy Protection Readings beg your holy prayers and Your Beatitude's blessing for the further work of the forum, which has to become annual with Your Primatial blessing. With filial love, on behalf of the organisers, participants and guests of the 1st International Educational Holy Protection Readings. † Philip,Archbishop of Poltava and Myrhorod,Chairman of the Missionary Department to the Holy Synod of the UOC
