<div>Summer is the only time when I do not teach at Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary and, therefore, I can research and write. On June 10 I am leaving for the University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne to work with the archives of Paul B. Anderson who spent his 48-year career working with the YMCA’s International Committee. He lived in Russia during the
</div>

<div>the overthrow of the Tsar and subsequent attempts to establish a democratic government.
</div>

<div>Paul Anderson also exchanged correspondence with the ROCOR’s leading figures of the
</div>

<div>1920’s.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Then I would like to prepare a class on Russian Church history which will be offered through the St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Later this June I begin teaching a class on ROCOR History and Identity offered through
</div>

<div>the Pastoral School of Chicago and Mid-America Diocese of the Russian Church Abroad.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Also, I need to prepare materials from last year’s Belgrade Conference on the history of the ROCOR for publication in a thematic volume in English.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Additionally, I need to prepare a questionnaire, which the Fund for Assistance to
</div>

<div>the Russian Church Abroad will send to the ROCOR’s parishes.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I also would like to prepare a chapter on the Inter-Council Assembly of the Russian Church for a handbook on Conciliarity/Sobornost, edited by Dr. Irina Paert who is Senior Researcher at the School of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Tartu, Estonia.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I may also write a paper for a canon law congress in Belgrade this September.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Finally, of course, I shall be setting up my classes for the next teaching year.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I am collecting extra funds to cover my time and to care for my family's needs.
</div>

<div> 
</div>
