Fr. Arseny

I am presently reading a book about Fr. Arseny who spent time in Stalin's Siberian prison camp because of his Orthodox Faith. This book is full of many humbling and inspiring stories of a man who loved his enemies and suffered many horrible things out of his love for others. I want to be the kind of Christian Fr. Arseny is though not in Siberia. Fr. Arseny reveals what Orthodox spirituality is all about. Frederica Mathewes-Green gives a good brief introduction to Fr. Arseny on her web site at http://www.frederica.com/writings/father-arseny.html .
