Thanks for posting this. I always liked that little Kazan church in Izmailovo — my buddy and I delivered an icon there last year. Nice to see Bishop Methodius serving there on the 7th Sunday after Pentecost.

Yes, that little Kazan church has such a warm feel to it. I remember the icon you and your friend brought — it’s the one now near the side chapel, isn’t it? Bishop Methodius always serves with such quiet dignity; it was good to have him there last Sunday.

Yes, that little Kazan church really does have a warm, lived-in feel. The icon you mentioned is definitely the one by the side chapel now — I lit a candle there just last week. Bishop Methodius’s quiet way of serving always makes the Liturgy feel more focused, doesn’t it?
