About

This is an online journal of Father John Moses, an Orthodox priest of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.

Father John was born and raised in Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. He had been a Methodist minister and with his wife struggled to serve God in that Church for many years. They encountered the Orthodox Faith while he was on a leave of absence doing graduate study in England. By the grace of God and warm and sacrificial support from Orthodox clergy he met in the years after his return to the US, he converted to the Orthodox Faith, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1996.

As his parish has grown over the years, Father John’s responsibilities have grown as well. He now is the Rector also of Christ the Savior Russian Orthodox Church in Wayne, WV. He also has been asked to work to assist his grace, Bishop GEORGE, who is in residence at the Hermitage of the Holy Cross, also near Wayne, WV. Father John has been elected to the Diocesan Council, to the Diocesan Administration as the assistant secretary and Southern liaison, and to the Southern Council that will work to assist Bishop George in his work in the South. On March 3, 2010, the Eastern American and New York Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia announced that for his dedicated service to God’s Church, Priest John Moses has been elevated to the rank of archpriest.
