Orthodox News (27.04.2000)/HRWF International Secretariat (05.05.2000)
- The Estonian Apost[olic] Orthodox Christian Church, which is under
the legal and spiritual patronage of the Moscow Patriarchate, may be
"forcibly dissolved", and all its cathedrals and sacred places may be
taken away from it, Cornelius, Archbishop of Tallinn and Estonia,
believes. His statement has been circulated here, which says that this
can be done by the authorities on the basis of a new draft law on
churches and parishes.
