My private English library. My photoes.
I am Russian, married, I have two sons and one grand-daughter, I earn my living as a radio-preacher. I live in Moscow. I am Russian Orthodox priest and my bishop is Igor' Isichenko, bishop of the Ukranian Orthodox Autocephalous Church. More about myself.
"There is an abyss of love deeper than the abyss of death" (Rev. Frederick Maurice, 1854.) Chartist, founder of English Christian Socialism. Phrase sounds so Victorian, even Alicee-in-Wonderlandian. Love is not an abyss but a mountain.

Pentagon includes Defense Department's "Anti-Terrorism Force Protection" (ATFP). Thomas Bruce, the Army reserve chaplain, created another ATFP: a web-based prayer movement called Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer. He registered the website as http://atfp.org/. Great idea.

I read a lot in English, but I don't have English-speakers around me, this explains the peculiarites of my style while writing in English. I was especially at odds with articles in school, and I still don't understand them well and put them just from time to time when it seems to me proper from the poetical (rythme) point of view.
