"A Fund
with Time to Spare for Other People’s Problems:" An Interview with a
Member of the Fund for Assistance
How much help do we, the
faithful children of the Russian Church Abroad, offer to our own
brethren, never mind those who are further afield? Often, we think
that our Christian duty consists solely of prayer, church
attendance, observance of fasts, and the participation in the
Sacraments. However, helping our neighbor is also our direct
responsibility.
