“I sincerely congratulate everyone on the opening of the monument to the person who embodies loyalty to Christ. He said that there should be unity in the main thing, freedom in the secondary, and in everything - love. Our main unity is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. How we confess depends on a person's home and family. I grew up in Siberia, among the Old Believer temples and hermitages, and this has instilled in me a colossal respect for traditions, ”Metropolitan Ioann (Popov) of Stary Oskol and Belgorod noted in his archpastoral speech at the opening of the monument.
