…be it unto me according to thy word (Luke 1, 38)
Dear friends,
Our parish church of the Annunciation was established in Moscow in the spring of 2009.
The chief reason for its creation was the wish of our dean Rev. Ivan Chernyshev to establish such a parish in Moscow that would be both professing Confessional Lutheranism, keeping true adherence to the Book of Concord, clinging to the Apostolic Tradition revealed through its filiation, and at the same time impartial to the national background of the parish members, unlike some of German and Ingeri churches, where partiality is unfortunately the case.
As the mere existence of any true Christian parish is impossible without a bishop: «And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things» (Romans 10,15), our parish addressed Bishop Vsevolod Lytkin with the request to be entered into the centralized structure of the Siberian Evangelic Lutheran Church (SELC).
At present, we have been fully integrated into the liturgical order of the SELC, and we hope that our will to carry the Good News forth into the world will duly correspond to the title of our parish – the Evangelic Lutheran Church of the Annunciation.
