A conversation with Fr. Iouri Koslovskii of Ukrainian Catholic Univerisity, in Lviv, Ukraine. Please visit their Facebook page here.
Hosts: Daniel Lukas, Virginia Linzee
Fr. Iouri shared situation updates and his perspectives on the war and the Ukrainian churches with students from IRPJ.org (the Institute for Religion, Peace and Justice / St. Stephen's University, Canada). For those committed to peacebuilding, our first tasks are to listen and to pray, so we're very grateful that Fr. Iouri would give us time to do both.
