When in 1947 Metropolitan Elias of Mt Lebanon (later Patriarch Elias IV) visited Russia, he told how he had had a vision of the Theotokos, who told him that Russia had been saved from the Germans through the prayers of her holy people including Elder Serafim of Vyritsa, MP. Like his heavenly protect...

<Ah, but then there are the wonderfully holy village priests and old women that the supporters of the MP like to talk about! Personally, I have not met any holy priests in the MP. And as for the old women, I know of people who were put off Orthodoxy for years by the appallingly boorish behaviour of ...

I notice in this discussion that ROAC is not in communion with GOC. Now according to the logic of this forum, one of them is the Church while the other is a false assembly. If they are both the Church then surely they should be in communion with each other, being members of the Body of Christ? I fin...

The MP is not my cup of tea (British understatement) but I constantly see evidence of God's grace working through the modern-day MP-related ascetics of Russia. Matushka Nila of Voskresensk (reposed 1999) and Elder Savva of Pskov (1982) are examples. There are many more. Any one who visits Diveyevo c...
