TOWARDS AN ALL-RUSSIAN COUNCIL: MOSCOW THE THIRD ROME?

Post by Eleni »

Very interesting article that is being fulfilled in our time....
I would like to share this with others here...

Dedicated to the Ever-memorable Archbishop Seraphim: Eternal Memory!

'Beloved Land, soon to be made fragrant and all-holy, shone through and warmed by the love of so many martyrs' blood, there is an unknown redolence and effulgent light in thy still-brightening churches; we neither ask why nor question how: but we humbly kneel and feel and have Faith'.

Premonition, April 1974 (P.13 of Orthodox Christianity and the English Tradition).

Is it possible that we are seeing in our own lifetimes the coming together of the two parts of the Russian Church? Less than twenty years ago we can recall KGB men in Paris pursuing parishioners from a ROCOR parish and then writing a report about them in the Soviet Press, labelling them laughably as 'dangerous counter-revolutionary operatives'. Today, however, repentant former KGB agents make humble confession before ROCOR priests. Concelebration between the two parts of the Russian Church is discussed as a possibility, however long the Conciliar process may actually be.
