On the banks of the Bosphorus, the first Pope Francis and Bartholomew, representatives of the Church of the East and West were united time of prayer. After more than 1000 years of separation, the marks of respect of their leaders are polished but sometimes clumsy. A symbol. The Orthodox Church of Constantinople has kept its headquarters in Istanbul but only approximately 3,000 faithful throughout Turkey.
Another symbolic meeting will take place in southern Turkey. Pope Francis will go to meet Iraqi Syrian refugees who fled the war.
