I am grateful to all of you for supporting ROCOR Studies in 2021. I do not limit my understanding of "support" to material contributions. If you read what I have posted on ROCOR Studies, or if you simply believe that what I have been doing is the right thing, or if you pray for me – then you are a supporter!
|
2021 has been the year of the academic conference, “Links Between Times: Conclusions and Perspectives.” The conference took place in late November in Serbia. Starting from January, I kept you informed about the growing list of confirmed speakers. Conference organizers posted 14 abridged English translations of the conference papers (out of the total number of 23). I announced the blessing for the conference from the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. I gave an update about my organizational visit to Serbia in June and published a code of conduct for conference participants. Then we gave daily updates about the Conference while it was happening, and finally, in December, I published a concluding article about the success of the conference.
|
At the same time, during the year I continued to post materials pertaining to a wide spectrum of subjects, from the role of psychiatry for Orthodox Christians to Metropolitan Philaret’s notes on moral theology. Also, I was sharing with you interviews with members of the ROCOR, capable of sharing their insights on ROCOR’s past and present.
|
My work is such that I depend on the support of individuals and organizations. Without this support, the conference in Serbia would not have happened. I would like to continue studying further the events of the ROCOR’s history, analyze their significance, carry on my work as an educator, teaching at various ROCOR institutions, and foster a wider conversation about our past and present.
|
Your monthly donations, no matter how big or how small, will help me to devote almost all of my time to serving the ROCOR as a scholar and as an educator.
|
I wish you a safe and healthy 2022! Thank you for your continuing interest,
|
|
Protodeacon Andrei Psarev,
