Members of the Diocese Take Part in Sourozh Conference

07/07/2010

The 35th Annual Conference of the Diocese of Sourozh, our sister diocese in Great Britain & Ireland, took place over the weekend of the 4th to the 6th of June.  The topic was different states of the Christian life: marriage, monasticism, and the single life.  In addition to excellent and thought-provoking addresses and discussions on the above subjects, there were a number of other sessions dealing with spiritual and practical elements of Christian church and family life.

Made to feel very welcome were members of three parishes of our own diocese, who took full part at the conference.  His Grace Archbishop Elisey expressed his delight in the presence of members of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and his hope that this would become more of a regular occurrence in years to come.
