First Russian Orthodox Monastery could be opened in Washington D.C.
The first Russian Orthodox monastery could be opened in the US capital of Washington D.C. or in its vicinity, said Metropolitan Jonah, a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR). This is reported by Miragenews.
“In the area, not necessarily in D.C. It will be Russian tradition, of course, you know, the services will also be in English. The monastery has a very specific outreach [program] to educate people about Orthodoxy and Russian culture and Russian spiritual culture,” Metropolitan Jonah said, answering a question about his plans to establish a monastery in Washington D.C.
The monastery would be designed for educating people and would become the first Russian monastery in the vicinity of the US capital, as the only existing Orthodox monastery is of the Greek tradition.
