roosevelt belonged to the episcopal church. churchill, the church of england. the episcopal church had split off from the church of england after the american revolution. but the liturgy and the hands are very similar. so they had this very emotional service, uplifting service on the deck of the of prince of wales that august. well, not only were all these these bases falling and not only was the carnage in the north atlantic continuing, but hms prince of wales itself had been sunk just three days after pearl harbor. it was the first time that air power alone had sunk a capital battleship on the open ocean. and over 300 of the same men that roosevelt and churchill had worshiped with that august had died when that ship went down. so it was it was a time of tremendous stress. but the the faith that was exhibited that day was was remarkable. and i'm sure it had a lot to do with the the morale and unity that america and the british people had throughout throughout the war is very interesting, the way that the service was handled by the church itself. the secret ser

but presidents who attended st john's did not have to be adhering to the episcopal faith. they could they could be anything. john adams was one of the most noted religious presidents mean of all the presidents. he probably attended more church services than anybody. he was essentially a unitarian for most of his his life. but he would attend services at st john's when he was president and afterwards came to attend this church because, yes, it was convened and it was just a small trip across the square to the church. so you can see even here from the gallery looking down, this was part of the expansion of the church from latrobe's original building. it's very intimate. while we're speaking of stained glass windows, if you look up above the chandelier into the cupola, you can see their stained glass windows there. now, those were put in in 1895 in memory of peter hagner, who one of the original founders of this church by his family. it's kind of hard to see those from the from the ground floor. that used to be nothing. but clear glass. but from here, you get a bit of an idea

most of the clergy of the episcopate had previously served. people have the same ones at all times, the of money, the passion of your inner pride, when you sow not peace, enmity in human hearts, being a clergyman, here you need to really think about why you are standing at the throne of god. on june 22, 1941, nazi germany, despite existing non-aggression treaties, attacked the soviet union. the military-political leadership of the third reich counted on lightning victory. the strategic program reflected in directive no. 21 under the code name.

historical research means that already in 992, 4 years after the baptism of russia , there was an episcopalee in polotsk. the first bishop of polotsk is our belarusian saint, mina of polotsk, and since lagoisk was part of the grand duchy of lithuania, accordingly, at the same time, in the very first years after the baptism of mass... lagoisk, an orthodox monastery in honor of john the baptist, is mentioned in 1387. in the future, his fate becomes unknown. all subsequent church buildings are subject to attacks, fires, destruction, convert to uniatism again to orthodoxy. the city was never without spiritual protection. in the middle of the 16th century, on the territory of lagoisk there were a huge number of churches, such as prechistinskaya, spasopreobrazhenskaya, st. nicholas, in the middle of the 19th century, all of these churches, of course , fell into such a decadent state, then they decide how to rebuild them, or build them anyway one stone one, here is iakim khrutsky, this was the first rector of our st. nicholas church, he still begins to build a stone church, and in 1866 he served f

now it is trent that the entire episcopate has gathered to repel protestantism and launch the counter-reformationything that protestants condemned was unshakable: the church hierarchy with the primacy of the pope , the doctrine of original sin, the healing of priests, the worship of saints and much more. the main weapon was the inquisition. heretics were tortured and burned at the stake, but catholicism only strengthened in southern europe, the czech republic and poland. in other countries, protestant movements still dominated; the anglican church had already separated from rome. the final line under the counter-formation in 1648 was summed up by the westphalian peace treaty, which proclaimed religious tolerance equalizing the rights of catholics and protestants. on december 13, 1769, the austrian volugan kamadeus mozart went on his first tour of italy. he was only 13 years old. italy was considered musical. mecca , the cradle of opera, the greatest composers worked here, but mozart stood the test, he performed in concerts, played from sight, improvised, at the milan opera the audience called him
