THREAT TO CHURCHES
PROGRESS OF DESTRUCTION IN MOSCOW MAIN CENTRE OF ORTHODOXY CLOSED FEW REMAINING RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS LONDON, July 11. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Moscow correspondent says the drive against Christianity has entered a new phase with the forcible closing, preparatory to destruction, of the big Epiphany church in the suburb of Dorogomilovskaya, the main centre of Orthodoxy in Moscow. It was recently renovated at the expense of the poor congregation. The sole remaining church, also named Epiphany, which is in the Elohovskaya district, is also threatened. Twenty small churches remain of 453 pre-revolutionary cathedrals and churches, 25 convents and 800 chapels.
