“Those who walk together” continue their path to Orthodoxy

On October 28, students of theological universities and representatives of the "Walking Together" movement - about 20 people - were on Slavyanskaya Square in Moscow. They stated that they wanted to help people take the first step towards Orthodoxy, for which they would distribute body crosses and Orthodox literature to passers-by, at the same time asking if people consider themselves Orthodox, i.e., conduct a sociological study. A poster with a picture of the temple and the inscription: "We call ourselves Orthodox, but we must be Orthodox" was installed on the square. According to "Walkers", the action was carried out simultaneously in 9 more points of the city.

Recall that in the summer "Walking Together" and students have already carried out a similar action .

On November 4, a message appeared that on this day the action "We call ourselves Orthodox, but we must be!" should take place in Tver.

On November 5, with the blessing of Archbishop of Yekaterinburg and Verkhotursk Vikenty (Morari), "Walking Together" and students of the Yekaterinburg Theological Seminary held a similar action near the building of the Yekaterinburg post office.
