38th Russian Orthodox Youth Conference--Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
The Annual Russian Orthodox Youth Conference was held in Melbourne on 19-23 December, in which close to 160 hundred people participated. As has been the custom, the Conference began with registration and a service of supplication in the late afternoon of 19 December. It was conducted by Father Alexander Morozov and Protodeacon Basil Yakimov (both from Canberra). Each day was planned successfully--with each day beginning and ending with prayer. His Eminence Archbishop Hilarion gave the opening greeting and dwelled on the dictionary meaning of the Conference theme, especially the word "Jaded". Usually there were two lectures per day with discussions, with videos, workshops and sport activities as well.
