A translated version of the encyclical Spe Salvi was presented a few days ago in Moscow, in a ceremony attended by Father Vladimir Shmalij, Secretary of the Synod Theological Commission of the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate and by Catholic Archbishop Paolo Pezzi. The ceremony took place at the “Library of the Spirit”, an institution founded jointly by the Catholic “Christian Russia” Foundation and the Orthodox Centre of Sts. Cyril and Methodius of Minsk, which seeks to promote inter-confessional dialogue. It is not the first translation presented by this centre, which also houses exhibitions, round tables and other events, as well as book releases, the most notable being the presentation of the Russian translation of the book “Introduction to Christianity” by Cardinal Ratzinger.
