I received this very sad Email:
Please read the article below from the St. Petersburg Times (August 3, 2011). It is very sad testament to the final demise of a venerable emigre church in St. Petersburg, Florida, built, nurtured and supported by so many of our elderly friends and relations for over 50 years.
St. Andrew's Church has been sold for $223,000. The new owners, a couple from New Mexico, are new-age mystics. However decent their intentions may be, for the remaining elderly Russian community living in St. Petersburg and totally uprooted by the events of the past years, this is the end of the road -- a final stake through their hearts.
Congratulations are in order to those who helped make this possible. Xenia Woyevodsky
God have mercy on us!
