Heroes of Progress, Pt. 3: Edward Jenner
Our third Hero of Progress is Edward Jenner, an 18th century English physician who pioneered the smallpox vaccination - the world’s first vaccine. Before it was eradicated in 1979, smallpox was one of humanity’s oldest and most devastating scourges. The virus, which can be traced back to pharaonic Egypt, is thought to have killed between 300 and 500 million people as late as the 20th century.

from Orthodox Christianity
Organization in Moscow, Russia
Metropolitan Mitrophan of Gorlovka and Slavyansk: The Patriarchate of Constantinople “canonically restored” the head of the unrecognized “Kiev patriarchate” Philaret (Mikhail) Denisenko, the head of the schismatic Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) Makary Maletich, as well as the clergy and parishioners of both structures. How should we react to this news? Someone looking at recent events in Church life from the sidelines would get the impression that two jurisdictions are trying to figure out which of them is more important, and are fighting over territory. This is not the case, in fact. The question of granting autocephaly to Ukraine is absolutely not an ecclesiastical question.
