Quickly did he open the wallet – and here you are – there was as much as a hundred thousand rubles!

The Rise and Fall of 'Anglo-Orthodoxy'

In the 19th and 20th centuries, certain Anglican leaders—with the support of their Orthodox counterparts—sought to forge an "Anglo-Orthodox" movement. Their goal was to lead the Church of England into union with the Orthodox Church. Such hopes were dashed as the C. of E. was swept away by the tide of liberal theology.
