Thank you Fr, Joe, I do enjoy reading about your search for truth and peace. At present, I live in Northern Canada. I have worked all over the world and have visited Russia. I do understand a lot of its history. It is a beautiful country with well educated lovely people.
I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy 2023. I hope we have a chance for PEACE.

This video moved me and I started to cry. I want so bad to move to Russia (I lived for a time in Kiev during the winter so I don't have any misconceptions). But I can't move as hubby will not. But I hope I can visit next year. And perhap visit every year.
Father Gleason, I want you to know I love my Orthodox church in Connecticut. We have many members who come from other countries who are first generation USA citizens. We have Russians and a Russian member all the way from Siberia and Ukrainians from Kiev and everyone is kind and good to one another. Everyone loves their roots. But, in the USA, everyone is now American Orthodox Christians. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ. Our relationships with one another come first. But I will say, we do not have any liberals here because Orthodoxy is pro life, anti homosexuality, and pro family. We are all one family in Christ. I still have hope in my country. Russia went through a period where it was lost. The USA is like a pendulum. After it swings one way too far, enough of the citizens rise up to make changes and the pendulum swings back the other way. I pray enough people will stand up to the WOKE agenda which has infiltrated our government and corporations. The silent majority is waking up. I just hope and pray it isn't too late. Please pray for the Orthodox Church here in the USA. Good things are happening. The faith is growing. As Saint Paul once said, in 2 Timothy, and I'm paraphrasing here," I fought the good fight. I have kept the faith. Fighting the good fight of the faith is also about perseverance and continuing even when the road is hard. "
And for sure, this peace is coming. I Have had this feeling for a very long time. Russia shall surprise this Planet.!! GOD Lives there.
