Ah, I didn't know it was Peter I who pushed for that. Makes sense, for he did away with the Patriarchate after the
death of Patriarch Adrian, and installed a rather subservient group led by the Oberprocurator, a layman. [Unbelievable !]
I wish he had never voyaged to Holland....

Re: Metropolitan Philaret of Kiev [Kyiv], head of Lavra
Oh little tears at what Alexander wrote ! But Maria's reply gives me hope that Alexander will not have to leave after all. Alexander, by popular vote, we want you to stay ! I admit I did not stick with the Russian lessons, though I really want to learn. Do you know I even applied for a grant a long ...

Re: Marriage
Interesting discussion. I didn't know all these details.
It is too bad that the interfaith marriages began so early and seem to be mushrooming in the
last few decades ? How long has this trend been going on, would anyone say ?
Last 40 years maybe ?

Re: Archbishop Averky
I see there is another priest on Archbishop Averky's other side, now with the expanded version of the photo. Now I see more clearly, too, that it is an icon of St Vladimir which Archbishop Averky holds. The other picture is nice, too, so spontaneous and realistic, just like the first pic. I can imag...

Re: Strange Events Happening within the Makarian-HOCNA Synod
I had never heard of that "doctine", either.
I am amazed that anyone could accept it.
Good that it was counterracted before it could escape and influence people !

Re: Archbishop Averky
What a remarkable photo you came across, Alexander, thank you ! Archbishop Averky looks relatively young here. Is this maybe the early '50s, that is, 1950s ? The people all have such individuality. Notice that ? Especially compared with people of today. I didn't know that's what Archimandrite Consta...
