I used to see him in a TV debate about reunification of Russian Church a year ago. He made quite an impression to me, thought he spoke less than other clergy.

It is nice to see that there is a place where his memory might be remembered in a positive light.. other places.. just sad the responses one sees to the death of a hierarch.. regardless of whether they agree with him or not...

Memory eternal.
I saw this yesterday after church and couldn't believe it...
Thankfully, the priests leading the Sunday of Orthodoxy vespers last night let the rest of the congregation know, and we chanted a "memory eternal" for him.

Faith: A weak, wavering, struggling Orthodox. Believe in God and in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Love the Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Yet, vehemently disagree with some Orthodox teachings.
Jurisdiction: GOA, for now, but my heart belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is still "un-canonical."

Which friday...this upcoming one? Did I miss it? I probably won't be able to go...
Honestly, i'd love to know which of the who's-who of orthodoxy will be there. Just to see.
But I would have liked to have gone, but that will be impossible. That was more of why I was asking.
thanks though!

Yes, the funeral and burial are this Friday.
