有人说中文？

[Ariend]

我在想知道，因为我从未认识过说中文的东正教教徒。

我白人（西北欧后裔的）。2005年开始学中文。大学毕业之后我2011年参军了，在加州蒙特雷的国防语言学院继续学了。2017年退伍了，搬到了上海读了研究生（中欧国际商学院）。现在住北京，但在找在上海一份适合我的工作。

哈哈我高兴有一些说中文的人。我也是美国人，祖先们是欧洲人和美国原住民。学校里我学习过中文，英语是我的唯一母语。

I've heard; are there any other Orthodox churches in China, or is it just the one in Beijing?

I've heard; are there any other Orthodox churches in China, or is it just the one in Beijing?

According to Wikipedia:


At present, there are only three communities in Mainland China with regular weekly services and resident clergy. The Beijing community meets at the restored Church of the Dormition in the grounds of the Russian Embassy in Dongzhimen; the Shanghai community at the Russian Consulate; and the Church of the Intercession, Harbin, the only one open to Chinese nationals for regular worship. Elsewhere, priestless congregations continue to meet in Northeast China (in Heilongjiang and elsewhere) and in Western China (Xinjiang - Ürümqi and Ghulja) with, apparently, the tacit consent of the government. There are also Orthodox parishes in the Province of Guangdong and in Shanghai; two former Orthodox churches in Shanghai are currently in a process of being returned to the church but no activities are currently held inside them.

In March 2018, the Chinese Orthodox church acquired the government's approval to prepare new priests in Russian theological seminaries.[11]

The Orthodox Church operates relatively freely in Hong Kong, where there are two parishes: St Luke's Greek Orthodox Cathedral (Eastern Orthodox Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia under the Ecumenical Patriarchate) and the Russian Orthodox parish of Saints Peter and Paul under the Moscow Patriarchate. There is also a presence in Taiwan (where Archimandrite Jonah George Mourtos leads a mission church).

我也是所謂的“混血“。但是我媽是浙江人。

我記得香港東正教區(EP)大概8年前出版了中文的service books。這幾天我要尋找我的電子郵件跟bookmarks.

Cool. Seems the Russian church is doing what it can within mainland China to spread Orthodoxy. Will see if I can find some hard copies of these books to expand my vocabulary.

A few months ago visited the Mogao Caves--which are covered with Buddhist murals--in Dunhuang, Gansu province and picked up a book on the history of the caves. Through reading this book discovered Assyrian Christianity is referred to as 景教 in Chinese, and these Assyrian Christians had some influence on the painting of the murals.

The most populous nation in the world, and it only has a few Orthodox parishes. So yeah, thank God for the MP's translations into Chinese.
