Blessing Others With Our Talents From God

A Conversation on Moscow's St. Felix Orthodox Language Courses

Jesse Dominick, Alexei Makarov, Philip Champion

Several times a week a group meets at a church in central Moscow to study various foreign languages, and especially English. The gatherings are all part of the St. Felix Orthodox language courses. The group, founded two years ago and directed by Alexei Makarov, seeks to provide a valuable service to all who are interested, within an Orthodox context, in a spirit of Christian charity. From its humble beginnings the group has blossomed to offer courses in three languages at various levels of competency, as well as a Patristic-based Bible study for those of a high level of English, conducted by Philip Champion.

It was the banquet for the martyrs who had struggled, who had endured martyrdom and for whom God had prepared greatness!

Forgiveness Sunday Vespers

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh

To forgive does not mean to forget what has happened between us, but to shoulder the weight of another person's frailty, or at times of another person's evil.
