Your Holiness,
I am asking Your Holiness, as our father, not to forget us, and also ask You to often express Your fatherly feelings for your spiritual children—to a young Chinese Orthodox Church, and give us the necessary information, guidance and clarification.
From the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate №7, which we received it is evident that His Eminence Archbishop Victor moved to Krasnodar. After we received this information, we no longer commemorate his name during services in the church. Now the question arises, whom we should remember, we ourselves find it difficult to resolve this issue, we ask you, Your Holiness, to give us guidance to follow.
I constantly pray for the health of your Holiness.
Asking for Your Archpastoral blessing, I remain with love in Christ.
