Leaders of Lithuania s Christian religious communities have issued a joint statement, opposing moves to ratify a document on fighting gender violence and to recognise same-sex unions.
“Recently, several legislative initiatives that try to deny human nature and endanger the common good of the society have been a cause for concern,” they said in the statement. “Proposals to ratify the so-called Istanbul Convention and to legalise partnership are of particular concern.”
The statement was signed by Archbishop Gintaras Grušas, president of the Lithuanian Bishops Conference, Archbishop Innokenty, head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Lithuania, Father Grigorij Bojarov, head of the Old Believers Church of Lithuania, Bishop Mindaugas Sabutis, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lithuania, Rev.
