His Holiness the Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil received the President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Prof. Julian Revalski, Member of BAS, in the Holy Synod Palace on August 13. During the meeting, Patriarch Daniil thanked the President of BAS for the assistance provided in the holding of the Fourth Patriarchal Electoral Church Council, highlighting the traditionally good relations between the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
Prof. Revalski invited the Primate of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church to take part in the celebrations to be held in October on the occasion of the 155th anniversary of BAS. During the meeting, the issue of the relationship between faith and science was raised as well as in what scientific sectors the Church can assist scientists in their work.
His Eminence Bishop Gerasim of Melnik, Secretary General of St. Synod, took part in the meeting as well. The hope was expressed for more joint initiatives not only to support the scientific community in our country but also to spiritually strengthen the Bulgarian people.
