Kavkaz Center: Russian Priest Converted To Islam

Russian Priest Converted to Islam
Publication time: Today at 22:59 Djokhar time
This month, Vladislav Sokhin, a graduate of the Kursk Orthodox Seminary, the St. Petersburg Spiritual Academy, and Kursk State University and a priest in that region since 2001, announced that he was leaving the Church because he had accepted Islam.

In articles placed in Russian on the Islam.ru website, Sokhin laid out the reasons that had led him to convert. On the one hand, he said he could no longer tolerate the paganistic, almost polytheistic worship of saints so widespread in popular Orthodoxy.

And on the other hand, he continued, he did not want to be constrained by the Moscow Patriarchate's slavish obedience to the policies of the Russian state. A religious leader should be free to express himself about all issues involving moral questions, something he said the Orthodox Church does not permit.
