India’s first Orthodox church will be built in the capital New Delhi in 2013, Gennady Moroz, priest of the recently registered New Deli-based parish, said on Monday.

According to him, parishioners are currently picking a plot of land for the would-be church, in a move that Moroz said will hopefully be endorsed by Indian authorities.

The completion of the construction is to coincide with the festivities dedicated to the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia.

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.
