Should one try to stop apostasy or run from it?

Post by 尼古拉前执事 »

From the http://www.OrthodoxyNow.com Daily Bread Section:

Do not dare to raise your weak hand to stop the elemental tide of apostasy. Avoid it, protect yourself from it, and that is enough for you. Get to know the spirit of the times, study it so you can avoid its influence whenever possible. 
- St. Ignatii Brianchaninov
