According to the Metropolitan, "there remains only the truth and love of Christ, the expression and embodiment of which in the world is the Church."
"The truth and love of Christ are the hope of salvation for all of us. They are also the foundation of our personal and national security," the bishop of the Bulgarian Church said.
