I'd join if they made me an archimandrite (only because I like the title). The fact that my Russian is abysmally rusty may be the only thing that keeps me from making the move and taking over there.

Reminds me of some of the Roman Catholic services I attended in the Polish neighborhood my father came from.

You all be safe and God bless.

It's admirable that so many Russians kept their faith during over 70 years of godless, homicidal communism and seem stronger than ever!
ReplyDeleteMeant to add above:

Ain't that the truth, Anon. There'll be a reckoning.
