On January 25, 2019, the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry sent another batch of humanitarian aid to the Lugansk People’s Republic. The aid was delivered by the head of the department, Bishop Panteleimon of Rostov and Taganrog, and the chairman of the Synodal Social Department, Archpriest Alexander Dmitrienko.

In recent years, the Church has provided aid to victims of natural disasters, armed conflicts, and other emergencies. The Church’s humanitarian aid work is a vital part of its mission to serve those in need and to promote peace and justice in the world.

The Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry is relying on the teachings of the Orthodox Church to guide its humanitarian work

The Orthodox Church teaches that all people are created in the image and likeness of God, and that we are all called to love and care for one another. This teaching guides the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry in its humanitarian work.

The Department believes that humanitarian aid is not just about providing food, water, and shelter. It is also about providing hope and dignity to those who have lost everything.
