Bringing Christianity to Georgia

Post by Pravoslavnik »

Nathaniel Kapner's Church News website has been posting a great deal of late about how Vladimir Putin and modern Russia have emerged as the true champions and defenders of Orthodox Christianity, a sentiment which is no doubt shared by Fathers John Whiteford, Alexander Lebedev and the other chief advocates of the the MP-ROCOR unification.

  Is it possible that the future hagiography of the Moscow Patriarchate will ennumerate Saints Vladimir (Putin) and Alexey (Ridiger) as latter day Apostles not only to the West (ROCOR), but to Georgia --along with St. Nina?
