Exhibition of Russian Church Documents to be Held in Moscow

Moscow, May 15, Interfax:

An exhibition of documents from the archives of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia will open in Moscow on Thursday. The two parts of Russian Church are due to sign a unification agreement the same day. "The task of the exhibition is to extensively inform the Russian public about the life, work and heroic feats of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 20th century at home and in emigration. It tells of church figures who preserved the treasure of faith in the years of atheistic persecution," a source in the Publishing Board of the Moscow-based Church told Interfax. Some of the documents relate to reunification talks. The exhibition, entitled The Russian Orthodox Church in the 20th and 21st Centuries, will be held at the museum of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
