 Today I have participated in a mass in Christ the Saviour Orthodox Sobor, parish of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. It is located in the heart of Ottawa and, simultaneously, right in the center of China town of Canada’s capital :) It was my first time in an Orthodox church where the mass was carried out in English, French, Russian, Ukrainian and old Slavic languages. There were many people of various nationalities: Americans, Russians, Ukrainians, Canadians, Moldovans, …of all ages – from little to old, entire families, a lot of young people.
It was atmosphere of openness, spirituality, tolerance, friendliness…
Perhaps then the World has Belief, Hope and Love! Konstantin Y. Smolentsev
