Dear Friends, we greet you with belated Christmas wishes and a Happy New Year! We also want to share some of our reflections after ten months (approximately 300 days) of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.

Feelings of the russians
If Christians deem it inappropriate to condemn Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine, they should also refrain from condemning the Holocaust, Holodomor, and other genocides.

Don’t condemn Ukrainians for speaking out while enduring the hell of… Continue reading

May 2022… When we wrote to you at fifty, some part of us still assumed it would be over by now… Unfortunately, it is not… That is the first thing this report has to say and the hardest to write. The Russian war did not loosen its grip in its second… Continue reading

50 days… People of the Bridge…
#BeingHuman. #PeopleOfTheBridge… Fifty days. March and April 2022… That is all this is, so far… When the full-scale Russian invasion began, no one called a meeting to found a network. There was no name for it and no plan behind it. No budget line anywhere. There were seminaries, places built for lectures and the slow,… Continue reading
