The Pastoral School feels strongly that active partnership with higher education theological institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church/Moscow Patriarchate is an important aspect of making the continuing reconciliation of the Russian Church a real, living effort that will bear spiritual fruit, and that this is fully within the spirit of the Act of Cannonical Communion signed by the ever memorable Patriarch Aleksey II and Metropolitan Laurus on the day of the Ascension 2007. We dedicate significant resources to this effort, and ask the prayerful and material support of our students, faculty, staff, and friends in this regard. Please pray that the Lord will bless our efforts. And if you are in an position to do so, please consider making a donation to help us in this regard.
