The Polish Orthodox Church will take part in the pan-Orthodox meeting to be held in the Jordanian capital Amman on February 25, 2020. The UOJ learnt about it from its own sources in the Polish Church.

Unfortunately, the Primate of the POC, His Beatitude Metropolitan Savva, will not be able to personally attend the Synaxis for health reasons, therefore he blessed Archbishop Abel of Lublin-Chełm to represent the Polish Church.

We will remind, earlier it became known that the delegation of the Romanian Church will arrive in Amman.
