Thank God that Metropolitan Bartholomew first went to the elections on September 18, and only then to the prayer for the "Neopalima Kupina". That's the right order. And were any of those priests who went to courses for prison ministry also at that first movie night about the Battle of Kulikovo? I'd be interested to see how that fits into their schedule.

It is good that Metropolitan Bartholomew first voted and then offered the prayer. Practical. And about the prison ministry courses - I wonder if they also talked about working with young people who later get out of prison? Our parish in Burgas last year sent notebooks to the local children's home, similar to what they did for the Egorov school.
