The Abkhaz Orthodox Church said it has now officially split from the Georgian Patriarchy. It will also ask the Moscow Orthodox Church to accept the new Eparchy under its authority.
Not a greatest choice of language. With all due respect, Georgian Church need not emulate their President in dishing out "imposter" labels; it is not dignified, and erodes the dignity of the Church as an institution. The problems will all be solved over time, and sometimes a long time, but the Church need to preserve its respect among all the population, as I am sure, many well meaning people can disagree. And given how much the politics of Georgia relied on force to solve problems, Church need to show some restraint, compassion and forebearance, even in the face of sad news.
