Russian School to Appear in Damascus

Natalya Mihailova | 13 November 2014

November 11, 2014. A Russian school will soon appear in Damascus. This information was offered by Sergei Stepashin, Chairman of the Imperial Palestine Society, during a panel discussion in Moscow.

The decision on opening a Russian school was made following the meeting with Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria, in Damascus. Mr. Stepashin noted that there is one of the strongest Orthodox parishes in Syria, and there had been many Russian schools there.

Riad Haddad, the Syrian Ambassador of the Russian Federation, assured the participants of the panel discussion that this school might become the first Russian university in the region.

The first Russian school, after 1917, will be opened with the help of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society with the public money of Bethlehem. 500 boys will study there. They will learn the Russian language, the Russian culture, and the basics of the Orthodox Christianity.

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.
