Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

St. Vladimir lived from about 958 to 1015.  His conversion to Christianity in 988 led to the spread of the Gospel in what is now Ukraine.  This is about a hundred years after the work of Sts. Cyril and Methodius.
