Old Believers series, ep. 2: Baptism of Rus, Isidore of Kiev, Possessors & non-Possessors

Old Believers series

Today in the second episode of the Old Believers series we go through, briefly, the history of the Church in Rus, starting from 988 with the Baptism of Rus in Kiev and ending at the end of the 15th century. This will allow us to better understand the historical background of the reforms.  Next episode will look into the important Stoglav Council that took place in 1551 and is vital in understanding why many rejected the reforms of Patriarch Nikon.
