The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has suggested that the World Council of Churches (WCC) could be justified in expelling the Russian Orthodox Church over its failure to condemn the war in Ukraine. And rightly so.
Patriarch Kirill's support for Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine has been nothing short of shameful.
The death and destruction witnessed through the media has been an abomination but the suffering will extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine as food shortages set in.
The Times of Israel reports on the Russian war against Ukraine in the ‘world’s breadbasket’ and how it may threaten global food supply and, consequently, millions of others:
"Millions in Europe, Africa, Asia rely on fertile farmlands in Black Sea region; price of wheat surges by 55%; violence could create food insecurity, push more people into poverty."
Shame on you Patriarch Kirill.
