Hegumen Daniel told Mr. Schröder about the life of Orthodox communities in Germany, as well as the story of construction of Berlin’s cathedral. Fr. Daniel presented the high guest with an icon of the Holy Prince Vladimir, Equal-to-the-Apostles, and invited him to the Monastery of St. George which is being built in Götschendorf. Mr. Gerhard Schröder thanked Hegumen Daniel and expressed his wish to visit the monastery in the nearest future.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
