Beautiful event in STOC

[Barbara]

Do we have any information about whether he will soon elevated to hieromonk ?

Sounds like that from what Icxypion implies !

Great. I am so glad that my perception was plausible ! I had no idea anyone here would know him actually and
be able to provide such a helpful insight into his manner.

I think both Bp Akakije and he have a similar look to their faces ; of gravity, dignity, seriousness in fighting for the Truth.

I pray that the new monk and hierodeacon Arsenius can grow quickly in his responsibility and spiritual development so that
he can become a faithful right hand to take some of the burden off the shoulders of his Bishop.

[Matthew]

I have not heard anything from anyone about him being elevated to anything higher than a deacon. I am only saying by way of opinion that, from what I know of him, granted enough time and faithfulness, spiritual development and so forth, that he might be suitable for higher orders.

[Barbara]

Yes, of course, I realize that. It doesn't usually happen overnight. Though depending on the circumstances and the quality of the person,
they may be elevated to higher ranks speedily !

I feel that Bishop Akakije has a need for extra help, which will increase. So I am looking ahead and hoping all will work out
EXACTLY as God wills for the thriving of the STOC and RTOC too !

[Priest Siluan]

Axios! Axios! Axios! to Hierodecon Arsenius!

[Sdcn.Ephrem]

Axios!
