By Editor
In our modern secular society it is often difficult for us to practice even the most elementary Christianity. How, then, can we not marvel at one who not only overcame the seductions of the world, but completely dedicated himself to Christ and persevered through even the most difficult circumstances? Truly, such persons shall rest in the company of the saints, and it is from the quiet virtues of such as Bishop Sava of Edmonton that we can learn to please the Prince of Peace, Christ our Lord.

By The Russian Orthodox Church in Exile
Our beloved First Hierarch and former Bishop of Edmonton, Metropolitan Vitaly, has been a priest since 1940, a Bishop since 1951, and the first Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad since 1986. In that time he has helped people escape the forced repatriation and executions following the second world war, has founded many monastic communities, and has held firmly to the Orthodox Faith, "Once delivered to the Saints."

By The Orthodox Word, March-April 1968.
Archbishop Ioasaph was a zealous pastor and conscientious defender of the faith. He founded St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Edmonton, a monastery, and a convent, in extremely isolated and difficult circumstances. He refused to compromise and accept the schism of the Metropolia, and he will be remembered forever as a good shepherd who, in a very real sense, gave his life for the sheep.
