Glad to hear that. This means that not everyone there has succumbed to the new wave and remains in touch with the Church. Here in Kazan we also always remember Patriarch Kirill, as it should be.

Katherine Evans

That's good to hear. In our parish we still pray for Patriarch Kirill every liturgy, same as always. Makes you wonder how many monasteries are quietly holding the line.

Emily Clark

We do the same at our little parish here in Dallas—Patriarch Kirill’s name is still read right after the bishop’s every Sunday. It’s quiet work, but it feels like the only honest way to keep the unity we were given. How long has your parish been doing it without any pushback?

Daniel Lewis

Yeah, it's encouraging to hear that. Our parish has kept Patriarch Kirill in the diptychs too, right after the bishop, and it's been steady for years now without much fuss. Makes me curious if the monasteries you mentioned are the ones on the left bank or closer to the center.

John Johnson

Yeah, we do the same here in Denver—Patriarch Kirill gets commemorated right after our bishop every Liturgy. Our little parish has been at it for a couple years now with no real trouble, just a few quiet questions from newcomers. How's the rest of your community in Dallas handling it?

Rachel Moore

Our parish has done the same for years now, no drama. The article mentions the Kiev Caves Lavra and a few others on the right bank, not the left. Do you know if any monasteries switched the diptychs quietly after the new law?
