In response to several e-mails, I wish to post the following message for people wishing to know more about the author (it's taken from a recent e-mail): William, Thank you for your positive feedback. The answer to your question would have to be "No, I am not an Old Believer." However, after having worked in the elementary school with Russian Old Believers (91 School, Canby School District, OR), I feel like I have adopted a lot of their religion (espe ially the Bogoroditsa, Mother of God concepts). I don't dress in the Old Believer clothes, however, in school I always stick up for the Old Believer children and parents' rights. I also teach a mini-class (elective) in Russian for Russian Old Believers. I have now worked with them in various roles for 23 years. They have been like a "mission" or destiny in my life -- for they made me realize my ancient roots in Mother Russia. I am glad you found my Work with the Russian Old Believers interesting. By the Way, I now have Russian Old Believer children in my class who are the children of the first children I taught way back in my early days of education in 1976. Please feel free to share any other thoughts with me. Paul J. Wigowsky >From: [email protected] (William Herman) >To: [email protected] >Subject: Old Believers >Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 12:08:29 -0500 (EST) > >I very much appreciate all the information on the Old Belief and Old >Believers that you have endevoured to put on the Internet.

A wonderful novel and collection of resources about the Old Belief and Old Believers. Thanks be to God that this information is available on the Internet, as there is not much information about our Holy Faith and Traditions available anywhere outside our wn circles. As an Old Believer living in America, fluent in the Russian language, I am very pleased by this site.

I appreciate the effort you are putting on your site toward dispensing correct information about the Old Believers. All of the teachers I had met as a child in Monitor & later at Mollala Union did not care and were hostile or abusive.

Thanks for putting all this information and novel about Old Believers on the Internet. It is so hard to get accurate information on them. Are you an Old Believer? In addition to the books on Old Believers in Oregon and Alberta, Canada, can you recommend any other books in English on Old Believers (past or present)? Thanks.
