MINSK, 11 December (BelTA) – The Homiliary, Living in Faith, written by Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk, Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus has been published by the Belarusian Orthodox Church printing house to mark the 35th anniversary of the Metropolitan’s service in Belarus, BelTA learnt from the Belarusian Exarchate.

The book can be considered a vast section of a true church life reflecting the Metropolitan’s many-year experience of service, the church said.

The bishop became Metropolitan of Minsk and Belarus in October 1978. The Exarchate was founded in Belarus in 1989. The Synod of the Belarusian Orthodox Church took a decision to celebrate these dates on 12-15 December 2013. The commission in charge of organizing the celebrations is led by Archbishop Guriy of Novogrudok and Lida, Chancellor of the Belarusian Exarchate.

According to the Belarusian Orthodox Church, apart from the foundation of the Exarchate in October 1989 there were set up new eparchies in Mogilev, Pinsk and Polotsk.

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.
