I remember reading a bit about this fellow. He went through some very dark times keeping Christianity alive during some very adverse conditions :knight2: He will be missed on Earth :highprayer:

Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine,

et lux perpetua luceat ei.

"May angels lead you into paradise;

may the martyrs receive you at your coming

and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.

May a choir of angels receive you,

and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may you have eternal rest."
 
Shlomo lkhulkhun,

He suffered from heart ailment but too young to die at “only” 79.

It is said that His Holiness was the the first Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church in modern times to get elected by the Holy Synod without the influence or pressure of the State and/or government. We hope and pray that the election of his successor remains that way!

May he rest in peace!

Not hardly - he was indeed the civil choice as well as the ecclesiastical. His past as Agent Drozdov paved the way for his election. May God have mercy on his soul.

I don’t know about the UGGC but independent research organzations involved with religious liberty such as Keston would likely have problems with that statement. He was groomed from the beginning of his episcopate in Estonia for that position.

Prayers and condolences for the Patriarch and the Russian Church.
