On 4 June 2018, Mr. Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, currently on a working visit to the Republic of South Africa, tended on the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Johannesburg.

Mr. Lavrov went round the Church of St. Sergius and the chapel dedicated to St. Vladimir Equal-to-the-Apostles built in commemoration of the Russians who died during the Boer wars. Archpriest Daniel Lugovoy told the minister about the life of the Russian Orthodox parish which celebrates its 20thanniversary this year, about its role in spiritual unity of the diaspora in the south of the African continent, the preservation of the Russian language among the compatriots and the promotion of Russian culture in foreign countries.

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.
