Upcoming Lecture Tour to Highlight St. Tikhon, "First Patriarch of the New World."

JORDANVILLE — Protodeacon Andrei Psarev, Ph.D., Professor of Russian Church History and Canon Law at Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, NY and the founder of ROCOR Studies, has announced an upcoming lecture tour in the heart of Dixie. Titled Light in the Twilight: The First Patriarch of the New World, the lectures will be delivered in August at several at ROCOR parishes across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.

This year marks 100 years since the repose of the New Holy Confessor Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow and All Russia. St. Tikhon was a visionary leader who implemented the concept of the All-American Council and guided the Church both in the New World and later, amid persecution in Soviet Russia. In 1917, he became the first patriarch in nearly 200 years and was soon faced with the task of charting a path for a Church stripped of all legal rights under an atheist regime.

Dates and locations are available on the original Facebook announcement.
