Re: AB Seraphim Sobolev to be canonized by the MP?

Archbishop Seraphim did indeed condemn sophiology and the teachings of Fr. Sergius Bukgakov, the main proponent of this theology. He also was one of the first to condemn ecumenism and it was largely under his influence that the MP condemned ecumenism in the 40's, after World War II, when he moved to...

A New Intercessor- Saint Austerberthe

Today I learned of a 7-8th century Orthodox saint from the region where our monastery is located, Haute Normandie. Our Venerable Mother Austreberthe, born around 630, embarked upon the monastic life at an early age. She was tonsured by Saint Omer (or Audomar), one of the enlighteners of this region,...

Re: Nun Agnia [Countess Anna Orlova-Chesmenskaya]

One of the early "Orthodox Word"s published by Platina featured a biography. I'll try to find it. There is a "life" in Russian as well.

A word of warning - Metropolitan Daniel Mogutnov

A few months ago I was "friended" by Metropolitan Daniel Mogutnov on Facebook. Until recently he was with Met. Raphael's of Moscow's group, then he joined a group that seems to have its base in Italy. Today he posted information that he claimed had never been disclosed before, revealing th...
