there is not a single metropolis in the world where so many new churches are opened, where new churchesre built. i have already spoken about this several times, but i repeat again and again that the information itself. the older generation endured these trials and brought this church ark to a safe haven. we must never forget the feat, the spiritual feat of our clergy, our believers, who in these difficult years. struggle with the church, the huge state machines in these difficult years preserved the faith and passed on the faith to subsequent generations. today , indeed, we can testify to some miraculous events that are taking place in our church life: churches are being built, ancient churches are being restored, but all this is accompanied by more than just restoration. like shrines, but still it’s connected with renewal of our spiritual life, because churches are filled with people, i am now conveying a large... many people began to take part in the construction of churches, not only with their own why am i not participating, at this stage with very attention and care, but also with

the russian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate and become autonomous autocephalous church.ordingly, in ukraine, in the early nineties, there remained a church that was connected with moscow and a church that declared its independence. but already to the highest level, what is called, because it declared itself the kiev patriarchate, accordingly, at least two churches arose: this is where the personality of the former metropolitan of kiev filoret denisenko enters the arena. proterei igor yakimchuk is not just a priest, he is one of the five main ones in the ovc, this is the church meeting, the department for external church connections. i have been involved in relations with ukraine for a long time. the ovc is one of the most closed and important synodal departments in the moscow patriarchate, especially now. father igor is generally specifically responsible for ukrainian issues. however, let’s return to his story, then still metropolitan of kiev filoret, denisenko. he was a very famous and influential hierarch of the russian church, to the point that when patriarch pimen di

these connections between russia, the russian church, the russian people and the church jerusalem, theirst church, which was and the holy sepulcher was never interrupted even in the most difficult times, now they continue, mutual cooperation, it exists. the pilgrimage to the holy land has always, i think, throughout all eras been connected. with a certain amount of work that the pilgrim had to undertake. if we are talking about years distant from us, then we understand perfectly well that the pilgrimage itself took a long time, it was a long journey, very often grueling, very often exhausting, but the pilgrims went for it, because the very opportunity to visit the holy land was worth it. some historical moments, the path of russian pilgrims to the holy land, was akin to suicide, especially with... it was difficult for pilgrims in those days when palestine was captured by the turks. it took an average of 11 years to go to the holy city in jerusalem and back. and it was necessary to cross the border of five states, which were mostly, for example, muslims, and this crossing was very, very

to remain faithful to the mother church, despite the fact that the mother church herself is for... no, unity in diversity, we are not all of the same race, we are not all of the same skin color, we have no thoughts, we each have our own heads, but everything we constitute separate peoples who accept faith in christ, we are unique we believe, well, there is no question that this is some kind of fashion, this is a purposeful activity, american soft power and american influence, after the terrorist attacks in the twin towers in 2001, the american intelligentsia set itself such an idea of ​​​​how to reduce the danger from radical movements, well, islam first of all, the idea is to do? there is also pride, pride of both the patriarchate of constantinople as a whole and patriarch bartholomew personally, since he claims to represent all of world orthodoxy, when in the 19th century in the 23rd year, the so-called malosian catastrophe occurred, when, well, essentially... the greek people, they were expelled from asia minor, several million people, and the patriarch of constantinople was actual

church politics. have to. visit the war of ideology , try to understand who has a chance of winning it, the circle is expanding, russia, ukraine, belarus, this is holy russia, moscow should be annexed to kiev, if it is kiev, this is russia. it was important for constantinople to take revenge on the moscow patriarchate. there are connections in everything, always, everyone is connected, as for what happened already in ukraine, then of course these connections were read, this is a purposeful activity, there is a competition between moscow and constantinople, a competition for leadership in world orthodoxy, but this is also a competition between two worldview. this is a case, this will be an honest detective story. we will tell you everything about the elections in russia in detail, it’s not difficult to understand them, it’s important , it’s honestly convenient, why cameras in elections, today my dad and i found ourselves in a new place, he wanted to vote, choose a candidate, we went in, i’m immediately

, in 911 the new church was illuminated and it was consecrated in honor of st. george the victorious, this is such a spiritual story. in '37 this church was closed, priest mikhail rubanovich, at the age of 83, was brought to mary magdalene. asked how we would illuminate this new church that had been built, he blessed the honor of the nativity of god, mother, how to restore that tradition that had been interrupted, and so we consecrated this new church in honor of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary, in 1997, 15 october the first stone was laid in the foundation of the temple, in 2001 we already lit it, but at the same time as the construction of the temple we also devoted to social service. while, when i came here, it was a village , there were a lot of lonely old people, that’s when we organized a kitchen, on sundays we served lunches for lonely stories, that is , this is such a small social work, then here next to the zhdanovsky orphanage, we have them... . buy a store, this is what they are taught here, to take care of yourself as much as you can, without

ukrainian hierarchs in the russian church are completely always would.rs, if we are talking about the schism of 1446, the patriarch of constantinople did not interfere in the affairs of ukraine, but suddenly, as if by accident, in 2017, the patriarch, who had never spoken out on this matter before, decided that he has a mission. create a schism within the already existing ukrainian church schism. agree, this is quite surprising, and of course, not at all accidental. as a catholic, i shouldn’t discuss the fact that he’s like bartholomew, but i can only as an observer and look, we have. the patriarch of constantinople, who, as a small orthodox bishop, lives in a large islamic city called istanbul, is trying to point his finger at the largest orthodox church with its center in moscow, but excuse me guys, you need to somehow know your own, not just your place, but your opportunities, his place is good, his opportunities are small, so what, but here... the events of the russian church, as the guardian of its borders and to strengthen catholic and greek-cathol

in the evening, the serbs gather at the nearest church, some are in a hurry to belgrade to the church car with a trunk filled to the brim with oak branches. you need to have time to make a wish. the burning of badnik, oak branches, on a huge bonfire in front of the temple is probably one of the most interesting christmas traditions of the serbian people. they say that it goes back to pagan times, but the fact remains: not a single serbian family can do without ... going to such a bonfire to make wishes, this bonfire for the serbs is a symbol of the family hearth, the fire in which must be maintained by everyone together, only then a solemn liturgy in the main temple of the country, the cathedral of st. osawa, which the serbs built together with their russian brothers. sergei haloshevsky, vlada radoichic, vladimir vypritsky, boris filchikov. ntv television company. belgrade, serbia. now a short advertisement. and further in our issue. a dream come true. the president organized a trip to baikal for eight-year-old christina sin after she asked for it by leaving a letter on the wish tree.

i really hope that at least our church community, our church publicists and writers, will pay attentionorried, yes, as for outside the church, well, if someone also hears it, they will understand that this is, in general , what we would like to follow, god willing, although there is little hope here, because this sea is too seething outside the church harbor, the difficult time we are going through is a time special responsibility for the country, for the people, for the church, in order to successfully overcome all... trials, our society today especially needs unanimity, which is impossible without the consciousness of personal and moral responsibility for the fate of russia. this unanimity is not in the dystopian style of zamyatin oruel, when everyone should think absolutely the same way according to a template. of course not. each person was created by god as a free person, and there must be differences of opinion among us, so that those who are skillful may be revealed, according to the word of the apostle paul. about the unity that we need. it is necessary to strive, as it is exhau

away from the churches of the middle east means to weaken those churches first of all, but by the gracell most orthodox leaders are wise people and do not succumb to this kind of pressure. although this pressure is being exerted, and some people are giving up their positions, some heads of churches are courageously resisting this. naturally, for well-known reasons , i will not pronounce the names of these people, but i thank you for their courageous, firm position aimed at maintaining unity with the russian orthodox church, and this means that this is the struggle for the unity of all orthodoxy. first of all, we are talking about the fact that there is quite a strong tension between the arab population and the jewish population, again i will not go into any political possible reasons for this, economic ones, although... probably both are present, but this is a tension, it was not born today, it existed in the past, therefore, if we talk about some ways to overcome this conflict and generally reconcile people, it seems to me that we need to very actively involve religious leaders, respec

, the russian people and the church of jerusalem, the first church, which was also the holy sepulcherve never been interrupted even in the most difficult times, now they mutual cooperation continues, it exists. a pilgrimage to the holy land has always, i think throughout the entire era, been associated with a certain amount of work that the pilgrim had to undertake. if we are talking about years distant from us, then we are fine. we understand that the pilgrimage itself took a long time, it was a long journey, very often grueling, very often exhausting, but the pilgrims went for it because the very opportunity to visit the holy land was worth it. some historical moments, the path of russian pilgrims the holy land was akin to suicide , it was especially difficult for pilgrims in those days when palestine was captured by the turks in order to go to the holy city of jerusalem... after the earthly life of jesus christ, he decided to found a new jerusalem near moscow, which would become the world center of orthodoxy, and would attract hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to the holy russian l

life in ukraine, and even more so, if this church life is not simple, and it is connected with moscow with the russian orthodox church, you know, i am... a supporter of a systematic and sufficiently flexible solution to this problem, not only purely administratively, it it's very easy, you know, but let's just ban it, well, you will ban it, yes, and we, in principle, the state is taking this path, but in the second reading they have to vote, i think that in the end they will vote on the corresponding bill, but in my opinion, in parallel , it is necessary to decide, what to do with the millions... about which you mentioned millions, the active part is hundreds, well, very active, in particular those who were under the laurel, these are tens of thousands, there were several thousand under the laurel, and this is a potential risk , it's a challenge, so it takes thoughtful, consistent step-by-step action, not just ban as such, but opzzh yes, it was easier to ban. with the religious issue , flexibility is still needed here, in particular because , unfortunately, this is also a topic on whi

it was that church. it was between the time and the priest, so to speak, for the bishop loudest and fast. indeed, during a counseling session and 2010 or 2011 jane's father and paul adams told us mormon bishop that he had sexually abused her and made videos of it. she was 5 years old at the time. seems like she made a deals. this is audio of an interview with that bishop john. here it was federal law enforcement. about 7 years after paul's confession, the bishop called the helpline setup by the mormon church to deal with cases of abuse. he spoke to a church lawyer who told him he could not report paul the, the says view and so please can do nothing except for encourage him to turn it in. so. okay, so it's your understanding that and then your lead counselors saying you that when confronted with a situation like that in glenn, i mean we can call it what it is, you know, the sexual abuse of his children in his own hands whenever it. yeah. if there's kids, anyone else tells me, then i can. but if it comes f

church st.o is a historical and cultural object of neo-gothic sacred architecture. beginning of the 19th century, the construction of a lutheran church in grodno is inextricably linked with the emergence of an evangelical lutheran community here in the second half of the 16th century. there were 15 royal manufactories in grodno, to which the city mayor, antony tezengaus , invited german artisans to work. they became parishioners of the new church. the king of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, stanislav august ponitovsky , at the end of the century, gave it to the grodno lutherans a three-story building that previously housed a tavern. in subsequent years , this particular building was converted into a church. construction of the church was completed in 1843. later , a small parsonage with separate rooms for classes of the evangelical school was added to the church of st. john. the religious center of grodno took its final appearance. accepted in 1873. the final touch in the construction was th

church of the holy trinity, most of the icons were destroyed, only the church of the transfigurationy housed an ancient 16th century icon of the descent of vaat, a magnificent masterpiece belarusian art. now there is a copy of it, and the original is housed in the national art museum of belarus. it was the church of the transfiguration of the savior that was destined for the fate of the center of orthodoxy in the chechersk region. according to the memorial book of the mogilev province for 1914 , priest john pischikov served in the church of the transfiguration. this is the year the first one began. world war. however, even more challenges lay ahead. it is unknown what happened to the church after the revolution and before the start of the great patriotic war. the germans, previously having plundered the spasopreobrazhenskaya cemetery church of st. george, destroyed the ploshchenitsa and about 20 icons, they turned these churches into camps for prisoners of war. in 1946 , an agreement was signed with the executive committee of the chechersk council of deputies on the transfer to polan
