Archimandrite Zacchaeus, the Dean of the American Orthodox Church in Moscow, talks about Orthodoxy as he walks the Russia Today crew around the Church of St. Catherine the Great Martyr.

“It’s very important for someone from the West coming to Russia to learn as much as possible about the Orthodox faith,” says Archimandrite Zacchaeus, “Because to be in Russia and not to understand Orthodoxy, you really can’t understand Russia.” [posted RT: 15 Dec. 2009]

    I’m always heartened when I find coherence, and this was coherent.
