Thanks for the update. Interesting that it was held at the Danilov Monastery again — I always picture the quiet courtyard there when I read these. Did they mention anything specific about new bishops or appointments?

Yeah, they picked Danilov again — the same quiet spot where our choir practiced last summer. They did name a couple new bishops, one for a Siberian diocese and another for an American vicariate. Did you catch any of the names that stood out to you?
