— "The Russian Orthodox Church is in constant contact with the Chinese government, working to arrange the opening of new churches and the training of priests there.

The Church is very concerned with developing the life of Orthodox Christians in Chinas, although there are limited opportunities for missionary work there, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), head of the Department for External Church Relations, told reporters at the recent presentation of the Chinese translation of Patriarch Kirill’s book, Thoughts For Every Day of the Year, reports RIA-Novosti.

“We have a permanent mechanism for consultations with the People’s Republic of China,” Met. Hilarion said. “We were just holding negotiations on the development of Orthodox believers in China, on the opening of churches, on the training of priests. This work is moving ahead, but it’s moving quite slowly.” "

— "The head of the DECR of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), believes that the primate of the Alexandrian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Theodore, has joined the schism, according to the Greek website Romfea.

On the air of the Church and Peace program, Metropolitan Hilarion said that the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on September 23-24 decided to consider the requests of the clergy of the Alexandrian Orthodox Church for their acceptance into the jurisdiction of the ROC."

The Roman Catholic Church in Germany is attempting to uproot its core doctrinal beliefs with modernism to such an insane degree (proposing women's ordination, recognising sodomites' "marriage" etc...), with its recent "Synodal Way" forum, that even Pope Francis, who is himself a liberal, is worried.

This article written by the Union of Orthodox Journalists gives some insight into the current problems afflicting Rome and how the influential German bishops, who contribute more funding to the Vatican than any other national polity within Catholicism (hence giving them massive leverage), could send the Roman Catholic Church on a collision course which could lead to internal rift and possibly even a formal schism (which, of course, would be ironic since they always criticise Orthodoxy's church structure for causing schisms).

If indeed the Synodal Way, which concludes in 2023, does lead to schism or, at the least, a deeply contentious relationship between the Vatican and the German Catholic Church; who at this time will feel even more emboldened in their pro-globohomo beliefs, then this could open up a lot of opportunities for spreading Orthodoxy in Germany. Just a thought 🤔

— "On October 6, 2021, the head of the OCU, Epiphany Dumenko, thanked the United States of America for supporting the Tomos provided to the OCU by the head of Phanar, the OCU website reports.

During the meeting on the territory of the St. Michael Monastery, Dumenko stressed that he is deeply grateful to the American people, the United States of America, for the support this country "has provided and continues to provide us in the fight for justice and truth."

“I had the opportunity here, within these walls, to personally express this gratitude to the previous Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, as well as the current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. And today I want to reaffirm it in front of your representative delegation," Dumenko said."

— "The Moldovan Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate issued a statement yesterday on the ratification by the Moldovan Parliament of the “Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence,” commonly known as the Istanbul Convention, noting that while it has praiseworthy elements, it also unfortunately departs from the Biblical conception of mankind, and thus the Church cannot support it."
