Dialogue-intoduction-b (Hieromonk Gregory /Lourie/)

March 5/18, 2001

Dear Vladimir,

I am in complete agreement with your proposed conditions for dialogue. The one thing I cannot promise is to reply too quickly. The reason for this, apart from various matters, may prove to be my trip to Suzdal, planned for the immediate future.

I do have one request for you (on which I am by no means able to insist). Inasmuch as you will be the one asking questions (at least in the beginning), I would request that you provide your version of a response with every question.

In Christ yours,
Hieromonk Gregory.
