Priest Killed During Artillery Fire in Lugansk

This was announced on the Facebook page of Archpriest Alexei Slusarenko, a cleric of the Lugansk church in honor of Holy Martyrs and Confessors Gury, Samon and Habib.

“Five children were orphaned… This happened on Thursday, July 31st. The priest was seeing off a guest. Then he was returning home. At this point, a shell hit the house directly. The priest was wounded in the hand and died from loss of blood… Yesterday I received a text message from a man who knew Father Vladimir personally: ‘I ​​knew him well… I saw him in a public minibus two days ago. He was truly a servant of God, always helping his neighbor, giving alms indiscriminately…’” wrote Father Alexei.

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.
