Annotation

The article examines the appeal of Archpriest Pimen Simon, rector of the Christmas Single-F aith Church (Erie, USA), to the plenary session of the IV All-Diaspora Council of the ROCOR (2006). In his report, Father Pimen briefly analyses the history of the relationship between the Old Believers and the "Nikonians" and indicates the similarity of their polemical discourse. Despite historical and religious differences, it is necessary to build a constructive interfaith dialogue. Using the example of his community, Archpriest Pimen shows that all possible divisions can be overcome, but for this you need to have courage and determination.
