Metropolitan Laurus Skurla (1928-2008) fell asleep in the Lord today. If it were not for his bravery and vision, the reconciliation between the Church in the rodina and the Church abroad would have never occurred.

He passed away quietly, in his sleep. That was the way of it for this simple and unpretentious man. He would not desire fulsome eulogies or excessive grief. That is why I chose the Easter tropar, Khristos Voskrese (Christ is Risen) as the musical backdrop.

This is a Paschal occurrence in the midst of the Lent. It would not surprise me to see people do as was done at the canonisation of St Serafim Sarovsky. It was Lent, yet, they sang Khristos Voskrese. Shall it happen again?

Vechnaya Pamyat, Valdyko!

I am still absorbing this news, excuse me.

  • Thank you for this tribute to our Vladyka Laurus!

    Со святыми упокой Христе, душы раб Твоих, идеже несть болезнь, ни печаль, ни воздыхание, но жизнь безконечная. Вечная память, Владыко!

  • I desired to get something up as quickly as possible. Vladyki Laurus was the most prominent Orthodox churchman in the US, and he was a tireless advocate of unity of all Russian Orthodox Christians in this country. We should honour his memory by coming together into one united Russian Orthodox Church in the USA. Anything less would not be grasping the legacy he left for us.
