Greetings from Metropolitan Ambrose to the participants of the IV International Congress of Regents and Singers of the Russian Orthodox Churchtranslated

Church singing is, first of all, the prayer of those singing. Not an illustration for a divine service, not a decoration, not a pause that needs to be filled with something while the priest reads prayers at the altar. No. Singing is part of a single sacred rite that is performed by the entire Church.

The message Metropolitan Ambrose's greeting to the participants of the IV International Congress of Regents and Singers of the Russian Orthodox Church appeared first on Tver Diocese.
