On February 7, 2013, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk in his capacity as rector of the Sts. Cyril and Methodius School for Post-Graduate and Doctoral Studies received a delegation of the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu, including Prof. Matti Kotiranta, head of the University’s School of Theology, and Archpriest Rauno Pietarinen, rector of the Joensuu Orthodox Seminary. Present at the talk was also Hierodeacon Ioann (Kopeikin), assistant to the rector of the ROC School for Post-Graduate Studies for international cooperation.

They discussed prospects for cooperation between the University of Eastern Finland and the ROC School for Post-Graduate Studies including student and faculty exchange and joint project work.

In conclusion of the meeting, Metropolitan Hilarion presented the guests with copies of the Russian and English versions of his book ‘Orthodoxy’.

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.
