Archimandrite Dionysius of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church stated on the program "Tazi Sutrin" ("This Morning") that, knowing the composition of the three candidates for the Patriarchal throne, he was pleasantly surprised by the election of Daniel as the Primate of the BOC, reports the Pavlov Secrets Telegram channel.
"I assumed that the usual human, not divine, schemes among us would win, but it turned out that the scheme that no one had expected won," he noted.
Archimandrite Dionysius shared that he knows Patriarch Daniel as an extremely moderate and balanced person. In his opinion, the newly elected Patriarch will be a "natural unifier within the church".
As the UOJ reported, Patriarch Daniel of Bulgaria said during his first speech: "I believe that the Lord, who looks into the heart and knows that I did not seek this position, in choosing me for this ministry, will also be my helper, because the Lord not only lays burdens but also saves."
