Why It Matters: A Church Split Will Cause Geopolitical Blowback from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, Global Activism: Chicagoan Helping Knock Down Barriers to Girls’ Education In Africa

Ukraine Priests and Protests
In this file photo taken on Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, Orthodox priests pray as they stand between pro-European Union activists and police lines in central Kiev, Ukraine. As a barricade of blazing tires belched thick black smoke, a line of priests stood between angry protesters and ominous riot police. Every freezing morning, priests sing prayers to demonstrators gathered on the Ukrainian capital's main square, a solemn and soothing interlude to vehement speeches calling for revolution.
