Description
This book provides an examination of how an American church leader influenced and impacted the development of Russian Christianity during the Soviet Era. It looks at how Paul B. Anderson served as an advocate between American and Russian cultures and a promoter of fruitful interconfessional cooperation between Protestant and Orthodox Christians.
Exploring Anderson's personal and professional life, Matthew Lee Miller shows how he directed the YMCA, Episcopal Church, and National Council of Churches to creatively expand their ministry visions in order to develop productive partnerships with Russian Orthodox believers. Most significantly, Paul B. Anderson and the Development of Russian Christianity in the Era of Soviet Power reveals how Anderson built relationships of genuine trust and productive collaboration that connected networks of Orthodox intellectuals and clergy, Protestant ecumenical leaders from Europe and the United States, and scholars of Russian culture.
