Who's Behind This?
I'm Rdr. Marcian Sakarya, a Reader in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. I live in North Carolina with my wife and daughter.
When I discovered that the standard English translation of the Prologue from Ochrid contained censorship and was locked behind copyright, I felt that St. Nikolai, whose work has profoundly influenced me, deserved better. St. Nikolai's complete words, unaltered and unfiltered, deserve to be freely accessible to every Orthodox Christian.
Over 200+ hours have gone into this translation and development work so far, with hundreds more ahead. This is a labor of love, but your support helps cover hosting, development, and the time needed to complete the remaining translations with the care they deserve.
