Practical Preparation for the Catacomb Church

Post by Matthew »

We cannot know if we will ever find ourselves in the same situation as the True Orthodox confessors and faithful under the Soviet Yoke. It is wise to prepare as much as we can now. Once in such a situation it might be too late to ready ourselves. Here are some practical insights and advice on how Christians can be prepared. The talk is one given decades ago by Richard Wurmbrand who suffered torture in Romanian Communist prisons for his Christian Faith. Although a Lutheran, his advice is very useful.

I have been thinking about the same thing.

But I wouldn't listen to a Lutheran speak, no matter how practical his advice.

Has anyone written up anything on the topic which draws on other sources ?

That name is famous, of course, from the Soviet era.
I remember hearing his book recommended back then.
