Rev. Dr. Olav Fukse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council of Church, in his letter to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, expressed compassion with the victims of terrorist attacks in Moscow Metro and with their families.

‘I am confident that in the fellowship of World Council of Churches we are praying for the victims and mourning together with their relatives, and for a peaceful future of your country’, the letter reads.

The WCC general secretary stressed that terrorist attacks which break lives of innocent people are a sin against God who offers life as a divine gift. He stated that ‘these terrorist attacks are even more painful to us because they were committed during the Holy Week when we, all Christians, are reflecting on our Lord Jesus Christ’s sufferings for us and our salvation and prepare ourselves to celebrate His Resurrection. May God heal the deep wounds caused by these terrorist attacks! May the Lord of life protect us all from the aggressions of hate and intolerance!’
