Your Excellency,

With profound grief I have taken the report about the shipwreck on the Yangtze River which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of citizens of your country. The catastrophe has cut short the lives of passengers, a considerable part of them being elderly people. Kindly accept my sincere condolences.

Please convey the words of support and wishes of courage and fortitude in face of this trial to relatives and friends of the victims and to all the people of China.

Respectfully,

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.
