Прот. К. Костромин. Был ли неизбежен старообрядческий раскол?

On February 5, 2018, at the Logos Educational Center at the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (pavlovsk-xram.ru), Archpriest Konstantin Kostromin, PhD in Theology, PhD in History, Associate Professor, and Vice-Rector for Research and Theological Work at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, delivered a lecture on the topic "Was the Old Believer Schism Inevitable?" According to Fr. Konstantin, the schism was merely a symptom of a serious illness that had engulfed Russian society by the mid-17th century. The lecture addressed the question of what this illness consisted of. The lecturer also touched on the history of Christian ritual (the two-fingered sign of the cross, variations in the Creed, etc.).
