Bartholomew Gets a Letter from the Pope in Plovdiv.

The Oecumenical Patriarch promised to pray for Bulgaria's admittance to NATO.
In Plovdiv Oecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew got a letter of greetings from Pope John Paul II. The letter was read out at a conference 'The Byzantine cultural heritage in the Balkans'. 'Today we should recall the mission of the sacred brothers Cyril and Methodius which is inseparable from Europe's cultural heritage,' the Pope writes. In the letter he calls for 'another evangelization of Europe', in order that it may return to its Christian roots. The address of Pope John Paul II was interpreted as a token of thawing relations between the Vatican and the eastern Orthodoxy.
In his speech the Oecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew stressed that today too, the Byzantine civilization should be an example of a peaceful co-existence in the Balkans and tolerance between the religions.
'In this way we could spare our troubled peninsula many of its present problems,' he pointed out. After the opening of the conference Patriarch Bartholomew, Patriarch Maxim and Monsignor Georgi Yovchev attended a mass for Bulgaria's well-being.
