		Apostasy, for example is a violation of orthodoxy that takes the form of abandonment of the faith, be it for some form of atheism or for some other faith, a concept largely unknown before the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of Rome.

	Supplements
		Russians are so accustomed to the absolute immobility of Orthodoxy that they can think of only two solutions to the religious question: either a final break with the Church or an incontrovertible acknowledgement of the immovability and unchangeability of all her contemporary customs and ordinances.
		Russians in general have also forgotten the worship which could be a united and immediate expression of their spirit of prayer.
		But in spite of all this Russian Orthodoxy did not lose its sacred power and it has showed that it is capable of fulfilling its mission even in the circumstances of a persecution which, in its determination and intensity, exceeds anything that the earthly Church has ever had to suffer.

	THE JEWISH QUESTION IN THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
		Modern Russian experience gives us quite an opposite result.) After years of institutionalised atheism in Russia, a phenomenon which also comprised Russia's Jews,who usually were Jews not by their education and religion but only by blood, Jews have been among the first to search for the religious values lost during the years of communism.

	AN INQUIRY INTO THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CONCEPT OF 'PROSELYTISM' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Similar in many ways to the Catholic Church in Latin America, the Russian Orthodox Church feels wounded by the loss of many of her members and potential members to these other denominations which are foreign in their origins.
		In order to appreciate the problematic which the Catholic Church is faced with in this aspect of her relations with Orthodoxy, an analysis of the concept of 'proselytism' and other connected conceptions might serve as a step in resolving some of the related confusion and ambiguity.
		Only by making such an analysis will it be possible for Orthodoxy to maturely present its objections to the various forms of 'proselytism' as they express themselves to the Russian Orthodox Church in modern day Russia.
