Holy Synod to take place in Moscow on October 5-6

Moscow, October 3, Interfax - The Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church will take place in Moscow on October 5-6.

"The Synod will last two days instead of the usual one because we have a lot of issues to cover," the Moscow Patriarchate's representative told Interfax on Monday.

Among the issues on the agenda of the meeting is the creation of new dioceses.

In particular, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has backed the idea of creating new dioceses in the Irkutsk Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
