Standing in the breech for what they believe and praying for politicians to come to the senses and bring about peace.

Looks almost like a scene from ancient Roman times.

Why are they getting involved in politics? They should just preach the Gospel.

They are standing between the two groups trying to bring about peace ... not playing politics ... preaching peace through their stance ... even a dangerous one. Brave men ... being Christian not selling out to either party. Would that Christians in America would be more Christ like and not sell out to one party or the other, but be peace makers ... preaching through their showing of love for all regardless of that person's politics.

Yesterday morning, monks from the Kiev-Caves Lavra Fr. Gabriel, Fr. Melchisedek, and Fr. Ephraim stood on Grushevsky Street in Kiev with a cross and icons, between the demonstrators and the Ukrainian special police force “Berkut”, and stopped the conflict. They entered the arena as peace-makers, and not in support of one side or the other.
