Response of Archbishop Yevgeniy

The invitation you have extended to those desiring to study in America at the St. John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy has greatly interested us. We will do all this is in our power to convey this invitation to all who may be interested in it.

The process of getting to know one another will be interesting and beneficial both for Orthodox Russians and Orthodox Americans. I hope that constructive collaborations between the Education Department of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Moscow Theological Academy and Seminary, and educational organizations of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia will continue to develop for the good of our One Holy Russian Orthodox Church.

Yevgeniy,

Archbishop of Verey
