I don't do enough of it; I should do more. Thank you for your kind words. It is easier to translate from a learned language into one's native tongue than the other way around. And humility is needed--one is bound to make mistakes and must be able to learn from them! Yes, translation is hard work! I don’t do enough of it; I should do more. Thank you for your kind words.

It appears we are both involved in translation from Russian! I do NOT do theology, as I am not trained in it. I stick mostly to news, history, art, and general information concerning Russia, which I do have some expertise in. Why don't you go to "Voices from Russia" (URL above) to see Metropolitan Kirill's speech at the Christmas Readings? I believe that my translation is the only English version available. My other website ("Art and Faith", http://01varvara.wordpress.com) deals with Russian art, which I find it largely unknown in the West. DO you find, as I do, that translation is DIFFICULT? How DOES one translate sobornost' or podvig or vostorg? It is a completely different thought world, thoroughly soaked with Orthodoxy, as English is not. Just a reflection, sir... Your translations are very nice, indeed. They DO time a large amount of time to polish correctly, don't they? a fellow labourer in the vineyard, Vara Batiushka Justin!
