Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Serbian Bishop Photius i nā kūkākūkā ma waena o ka Serbian Orthodox Church a me ka Macedonian Orthodox Church i mālama ʻia ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Nis i ka hopena pule i hala, me ke komo ʻana o Serbian Patriarch Porphyry.
Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka nūhou o nā kamaʻilio ma hope o ka liturgy no "St. George” i nehinei a ua maopopo ka halawai ana o Bihopa Photius ponoi. Wahi a ia, i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia mahina, "hiki i ka Macedonian Orthodox Church ke hoʻi i ka hui canonical me ka Serbian Orthodox Church."
"E hoʻopau kēia i ka schism 1967 o ka Macedonian Orthodox Church," i ʻōlelo ai ka pīhopa Serbian, me ka hoʻohui ʻana "hiki ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka hale pule ʻo Macedonian Orthodox i ka wā o ka hui Serbian Orthodox Church's Mei."
“He paʻakikī nui kēia. Inā ua ʻōlelo ke Akua i nā pule a Bishop Nicholas, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Saints Clement and Nahum, a me Saints Sava o Serbia, hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi i ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana o ka lokahi a me ka wehe ʻana o ka schism mai 1967 Aia mākou ma ka paepae o kēia hoʻoholo. , a no ia mea ke hea aku nei au ia oukou e pule. No ka pono keia o ko kakou mau ekalesia hemolele, no ka pono o ko kakou poe Serbian a me Makedonia, he mau lahui hoahanau elua," wahi a Bihopa Photius.
E hoʻomanaʻo kākou i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala, ua kāhea ka Serbian Orthodox Church i kahi hālāwai ma waena o Patriarch Porphyry a me ke poʻo o ka Ekalesia Orthodox Makedonia, ʻo Stefan. Akā i kēia manawa ʻaʻohe ʻike e pili ana i kēlā hālāwai. I ka manawa like, ke hoʻomau mau nei ka poʻe kālai'āina Macedonian a me kahi pīhopa kūloko i ka Ecumenical Patriarch no ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ka Ekalesia Orthodox Macedonian a me kāna haʻi ʻana he hale pule autocephalous.
I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua koi ka ʻEkalesia Orthodox Macedonian e haʻi ʻia ka Ekalesia Orthodox Bulgaria i ko lākou hale pule makuahine, akā i ka manawa i hoʻokumu ʻia ai kahi komisina ma ka Synod Hemolele o ka Bulgarian Orthodox Church e pili ana i kēia pilikia, ua hoʻomaka nā Bihopa Macedonian e ʻimi i ke kōkua pololei mai ka Ecumenical Patriarchate. .
