From Moscow to Warsaw to the USA – believers respond

St Andrew’s Anglican Church in Moscow is ten minute’s walk from the Kremlin. A community of Russians and foreigners, it is, as the chaplain, Canon Malcolm Rogers (see photo) writes, ‘a witness of what the world can be like, of the future kingdom’.

He adds: ‘There are some things we cannot say in Moscow, but we can still preach Jesus Christ, crucified and risen and reigning… In my 30-plus years of ministry, I have never known a time and a place where people are more hungering for God’.

Canon Rogers writes of his neighbours at St Andrew’s: the young Russian crushed by what has been done in his name; the mother sick with anxiety for her son who has been sent to Ukraine; the foreign student unsure whether or how to leave; the person who has been named on the wrong sort of list; the older person who hears a return to the isolation and economic depression of the 1980s.
