How Russians Are Reacting to Their Country’s Invasion of Ukraine
Rev. John Burgess, a professor at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, has lived three times in Russia, each time for one year. His research has focused on the renewal of the Russian Orthodox Church since the fall of communism.
Based on his personal contact with Christians in Russia, Rev. Burgess will speak about the range of ways in which Russian church members are opposing or supporting their country’s actions. We will discuss how this war is changing Russia and its churches.
Join us in person or contact Gwen Puza for Zoom details.
