Giorgi Margvelashvili: The decision of the Holy Synod not to change the rules of communion during pandemic is incomprehensible

Former Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili responded to the decision made by the Holy Synod regarding the new coronavirus-related situation.

As Margvelashvili has tweeted, the decision not to change the rules of communion during the pandemic is incomprehensible to him.

"Christianity is a religion of education, a creator of modern civilization. The decision not to change the rules of communion during the pandemic is incomprehensible.

I remember: "First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean." (Matthew 23:26)," Margvelashvili tweeted.

The meeting of the Holy Synod started in the Georgian Patriarchate at 12:00 and lasted for 5 hours yesterday. The Synod discussed the situation caused by the new coronavirus in the country, but left the communion rules unchanged.
