Seems a little on the small side.  Why not just do the sermons outdoors?  A good sized canvas pavilian or tent would provide more space while still protecting a bit from the elements (probably better than that thing would; those things are dangerous in high winds).  Would be cheaper, too.

You mean that in Kamchatcka they couldn't find a couple hundred square feet for him to put a church?!?!?

It's the ass-end (literally) of Russia, there's nothing there, other then Vladivostok, except miles and miles of miles and miles.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The Russian Orthodox church does not like competition.  RO clergy and/or boosters were instrumental in getting my BIL's family tossed out of Russia.  Their crime?  Being protestant missionaries focused on kids in orphanages.

Just be glad people can't change their names anymore. I'm still confused about exactly who a few people are/were...

I got two letters for you old buddy...  :P

I got tired of being Mike Brady so I went back to my favorite picture of my old duty station. If you look carefully in the square hole on the stern you can see my diesel and my steering gear.  ;)

Yes and no. In the end. American Kamikazes. In the guise of an EOD team.

Um,,,  =D

Yes it does look like a bouncy castle until you see the crosses and think, "Oh, it's a church!" maybe the colors throw it off? But still, pretty cool way around an "issue". I had a friend who said, "There are no problems, only issues."  ;)

Imagine, "Houston, we have an issue."  :laugh:
