Comments on: Russian Church: Martyrdom and Resurrection https://www.aoiusa.org/russian-church-martyrdom-and-resurrection/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:36:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: George Michalopulos https://www.aoiusa.org/russian-church-martyrdom-and-resurrection/#comment-6778 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:36:48 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=3915#comment-6778 George, good observations. However it is incumbent on the ROC to not fall into the servile trap of serving the government. +Hilarion said that “the church should be the church of the nation, not the church of the state.” We here in America should try to make Orthodoxy the church of the people.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and communism in 1991, the Russian Orthodox Church has thrived to become the most powerful institution in all of Russia.

In fact, the Russian government now demonstrates its loyalty to the Orthodox Church to such a degree that it even seeks the Church’s counsel from time to time.
