Larisa Musina is an Orthodox Christian and she is the pro-rector of the Educational Institute \u2018St Fileret\u2019. Last November, Larisa took part in the celebration of the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of Together for Europe<\/em> at Augsburg (Germany) representing the \u2018Orthodox Transfiguration Brotherhood\u2019.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the Meeting, we also remembered the historical signing of the \u2018Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification\u2019 of October 30, 1999; that same day the ecumenical network TfE<\/em> was born as a concrete response to the thirst for unity felt by all Christians.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following are some excerpts of the interview Larisa Musina gave to Oleg Glogolev on her return to Moscow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lutheran Bishop Christian Krause participated at this Meeting; he is one of the two signatories of the 1999 Declaration since he was the President of the World Lutheran Federation. He spoke about two important things: first, that the road leading to the Declaration was far from easy. Many great efforts were needed so that the XXth century may end without leaving such a significant division for future generations. Secondly, Bishop Krause expressed his great appreciation for the work carried out by the ecclesial Movements and Communities.<\/p>\n

This dialogue and the associated processes originated, and are still developing, within the context of renewal of the ecclesiastic life. The aim is to maintain the authenticity of the Christian Church, while developing her capacity to fulfil her own vocation in the world. It\u2019s interesting to note that it is the ecclesial Movements that are at the forefront of this initiative.”<\/p>\n

Commenting upon the solemn conclusive evening, Larisa said: \u201cIn the evening we prayed together in the Lutheran church of St Anne, the same Church where the Declaration was signed. This was followed by candle-lit procession to the nearby square. We thanked God for his gifts, including the gift of Christian unity, of which many shared their experience. Then, still holding our lit candles, we walked toward the city. It was like Easter.”<\/p>\n

The participants went back home with the light of the Risen One in their heart, ready to take God to the Nations.<\/p>\n
