Greetings on the feast of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco! For me, St. John represents the Russian Church Abroad at its very best. As a newly consecrated hierarch, St. John became, as it were, both mother and father for often disoriented and demoralized Russian stateless refugees in the international city of Shanghai. With all his life he "walked the talk", epitomizing the words of the troparion for a hierarch saint: "a rule of faith, a model of meekness". Following in the steps of St. Nicholas of Myra, St. John was also zealous about the Church's traditions.

I had a busy June. My trip to the archives of the Russian YMCA was productive. I am now working on making a new introductory class on the history of the Russian Church for St. Athanasius College. As you will read in the newsletter, I had an excellent visit to Ontario.

I do not believe that …
