With the Cross of Jesus going on before…
“A new generation has grown on the spiritual ruins of Orthodoxy, and it’s impossible today to preach Christ just by appealing to the tradition and inherited memory. We need to make specific missionary efforts. The Church’s goal is to make an impact on people. This goal is comparable to the one pursued by the communist revolutionaries, but with the opposite sign. The goal is to ‘restructure the Orthodox tradition.’ What huge resources were spent, what kind of organization was established, by the communists! Today, the Church needs even more powerful organization, and we must move with a greater potential, challenge, courage and sacrifice, than did the communists.”
-His Holiness, Patriarch Kyrill of Moscow
