Dear Metropolitan Laurus, Archbishops and Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia,

Christ is Risen! We ask for your blessings and that you hear the concerns of many women of the church. The commencement of the All-Diaspora Council on the Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women - without the participation of women - has left many of us with a personal spiritual pain and desire to express our views.

I just happen to be fooling around on web search and typed in Dragos Coal and to my surprise I came across a site dedicated to Sylvia Muntean.

Dear Editors,

Thank you for a copy of the St. Nina Quarterly. It was very exciting to know about the organization with the ideas and views similar to those of our society, which was organized in 1992 in Novgorod, Russia. It bears the name of St. Anthony of Rome—a Novgorodian wonder worker who, in a miraculous way, came to our land from Italy. The society’s aim is to promote Christian values with the help of cultural means.

Dear Editors:

Christ is risen!

Thank you for including us on the mailing list for your new journal. We pray that all your efforts will be truly guided by the Holy Spirit, and that much fruit for the strengthening and upbuilding of Christ’s Holy Church will come from your labors.

Dear Editors of the St. Nina Quarterly,

I feel as if a new day has dawned. Your publication is such a new and exciting and much needed concept: bringing Orthodox women together so that we could all pursue the “discovery and cultivation of [our] gifts for the nurturance of the entire Body of Christ.” Having the opportunity to read pieces written by and for faithful, committed, thinking, searching Orthodox women gives me new hope and much needed strength and support in my own life as an Orthodox woman.
