one effect of the move. it is expected,
will be to stimulate the identifica-
ton of Orthodox priests with parti-
san guerrilla bands fighting the in
vader.
Trustworthy reports reaching
Stockholm from Berlin say that
recognition of the church by the
Soviet government has created a
sensation among Orthodox believers
in Germany. The altered status of
the Russian Church, it is said, is
bound to have important political
reactions among hundreds of thou
sands Of Orthodox brought into
Germany as workers from Serbia,
Bulgaria. Rumania and the occu-
pied parts of Russia, where allegi-
ance up till now has been claimed
by the synod of the Russian Ortho-
dox Church Abroad, in Belgrade, a
body which has closely co-operated
with Germany.
Orthodox Russian workers in Ger
many have been compelled to accept
as their head the German Orthodox
Archbishop Of Berlin, Seraphim
Lade, whose activities have been
condemned by the Patriarch of
Constantinople and by the Greek
and Serbian Orthodox Churches.
One of the major effects of the
reinstatement of the Orthodox
Church in Russia will be to upset
Nazi plans to line up the OthodoS
communions outside of Russia on
the side of GERMANY.
