Excerpt from A Short Account of the Historical Development and Present Position of Russian Orthodox Missions<br/><br/>The contents of my little work hardly require any explanation. At one time the enemies of Orthodoxy gave currency to the assertion that the Orthodox Eastern Church never had and has not now any missions, that she is in a state of stagnation and backwardness, and is therefore on the brink of destruction. The reader can judge for himself how far these assertions are just.
