"There is no doubt that the Russian Orthodox Church is a major part of the world's Christianity, as it is the most numerous and influential Orthodox Church. In a dialogue with other sister churches, the Russian Orthodox Church has always upheld, and I hope will continue to uphold, the national and spiritual identity of the Russian people. We very much hope that this process will continue."
