September 22, 2026 · 1 min read

On September 18, a church-wide online webinar was held on the topic “The most pressing issues of rehabilitation of persons who have fallen away from Orthodoxy.” The chairman of the missionary department of the Samara diocese, Archpriest Alexy Bogdan, took part in the remote forum. A thematic lecture for diocesan specialists was given by the famous Orthodox missionary and sectologist Andrei Ivanovich Solodkov. During the webinar, practical issues of performing the rites of joining the Orthodox Church for persons returning from schisms and sectional formations were discussed in detail. The lecturer paid special attention to the new collection of rites of accession, which is being prepared for publication, which has been adjusted to take into account modern religious and social realities.

It is good that they are paying attention to the practical ways of joining. In our parish, it also happens that a person returns after years in some "new teaching", and there is always a question of how to arrange everything correctly. It will be interesting to read this updated collection when it comes out.
