Metropolitan Anthony Surozhsky. Conversations about faith and church. Surozhsky A.

A collection of conversations and the speeches of Metropolitan of Surozhsky Anthony (Bloom, 1914-2003) was conceived primarily as catechism. Its main task is to introduce the basics of Orthodoxy, to help take the first steps in the church. And here it matters not only the content, but also deeply personal, trusting intonation. She protects both the speaker and listening to mechanical interaction, teaches to open the heart of good news. Metropolitan Anthony seeks to preserve and convey to his interlocutors not so much knowledge about the church as the living experience of church life. And the records of his conversations for several generations of the Orthodox have become a strong foundation of faith.
