Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk: “Social media presence of the Church makes it possible for everyone to hear her".

“The mission of the Church can and must be widely spread on the Internet. Blogs, social networks – all this gives new opportunities for Christian witness. Not to be present there means to acknowledge one’s own helplessness and carelessness towards the salvation of one’s neighbours. Now, when social media show great, albeit not always healthy, interest in church life, our duty is to use it for a good cause, to lay the groundwork so that the youth could learn about Christ, learn the truth about the life of people of the Church.”

From His Holiness Patriarch Kirill’s address at the Bishops’ Council of 2013.
