“People expect love from the Church”: a conversation on Sergei Bystrushkin’s channel
In November 2023, Archbishop Grigory Mikhnov-Vaitenko spoke with Sergei Bystrushkin. Vladyka Grigory explains why he is ashamed of the Church and talks about the faith people find in prison, magical thinking, divorce from God’s point of view, and how psychologists have taken the place of priests. The conversation also touches on Ivan Okhlobystin, the teaching of the foundations of Orthodox culture in schools, what is worth learning from Protestants, and society’s longing for a kind God.
