I am glad that Father Alexander Novopashin continues his lectures in the Ryazan Diocese. I wonder what exactly he is talking about there this time - is it about apologetics again, or something else with the missionary department? Thanks for the news.

I'm glad that you also follow his lectures, Petya. This time in the Ryazan Diocese it is again about apologetics – I heard that he is talking about defending the faith in the face of modern challenges. And have you read any of his previous talks on the subject?

Saw the bit about Fr. Alexander Novopashin giving another round of lectures up in the Ryazan diocese. Sounds like he's sticking with apologetics again, talking about defending the faith against today's challenges. Good to hear he's keeping at it steady.

I noticed the article mentions Fr Alexander Novopashin continuing his lectures in the Ryazan diocese, and from the comments it looks like he's back on apologetics, defending the faith against modern challenges. That's the same topic he covered when he spoke at the FSIN law academy here, isn't it? Interesting to see the mission department keeping that work going steady across different places.
