Russia with Love - a Seminary
"We
have spent many years lamenting the Iron Curtain, praying for the day when it
would fall so that we could continue the work of the Methodist Church, begun in
the nineteenth century. We now have the long awaited window of
opportunity. Let us respond faithfully and generously that the light of
Christ may shine with strength in Russia through The United Methodist
Church."
