ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Alaska's Old Believers are accustomed to struggle. But even for them, these are the most trying of times.
Five followers of the Christian sect, which broke from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century and has been persecuted since, were killed along with their pilot when their small plane crashed Saturday as they returned to Homer to celebrate the Russian Orthodox Christmas. [ apnews.myway.com]

the Old Believers are assuredly Christians, and they are certainly not a sect.
Those of us who have the Old Orthodox Prayer Book would do well to pray the Canon for the Dead from it, for the repose of the crash victims.

Memory eternal Father Serge has posted a thread in the News Forum with details of the tragedy which befell our Old Ritualist brethren.
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Fr. Serge Thank you Father, that is a great idea.
