Patriarch Kirill about the current economic crisis
The leader of the Russian Orthodox Church said a return to real values can help alleviate the current economic crisis and prevent further ones. The word "crisis," explained the Patriarch, comes from the Greek meaning "decision." He said that today decisions have been affected by certain attitudes, such as "greed, loss of control over consumption, a bid to enrich oneself by all means and have as much as possible." He said the crisis began when people forgot true values, and that further crises could be avoided if values provided the foundation for the economy. “I am confident that God will help Russia and all countries of the world to get out of this crisis pure in spirit,” he added.
