Dear brothers and sisters!
I would like to express my heartfelt greetings to all celebrating Christmas according to the Gregorian calendar.
Christmas is one of the most significant events in the Christian world. The followers of various religions celebrate this holiday at different dates. However, this cannot prevent us from experiencing the evangelic miracle of the birth of the Son of God and feel our unity in Christ.
For thousands of years this holiday has joined Christians in the eternal truths of life, made all of us think about the deep sense of being, and filled our hearts with love and charity.
My dear, I sincerely wish good health, happiness and prosperity to you. Let the light of the Start of Bethlehem warm our hearts, strengthen our faith, inspire to good and fair deeds. Let God’s grace come down on Ukraine and help our people find the shortest way to peace and understanding.
Christ is Born!
Glorify Him!
Sounds normal (conservative)to me.
Yushchenko is married to Kateryna Yushchenko-Chumachenko (his second wife). She is a Ukrainian-American born in Chicago and a former official with the U.S. State Department, where she worked as a special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs. Opponents of Yushchenko have criticized her for remaining a U.S. citizen. During the recent election campaign, Kateryna was accused of exerting the influence of the U.S. government on her husband's decisions, as an employee of the U.S. government or even a CIA agent. She had earlier been accused by Russian television journalist Mikhail Leontyev of leading a U.S. project to help Yushchenko seize power in Ukraine; in January 2002, she won a libel case against him. Ukraine's pro-government Inter television channel repeated Leontyev's allegations in 2001 but in January 2003 she won a libel case against the channel as well.
