"A
Pilgrimage along the Dniepr Banks" – An Interview with Bishop Nicholas
of Manhattan on his Visit to Ukraine

prostrations, but do we think about our salvation? And if we –
Ukrainians, Russians, Americans – all thought about our salvation, this
would immediately push us to united prayer for the salvation of our
souls.
If we
follow after Christ, then our differences will fade into the background.
