On the second Sunday in Lent bishop Vsevolod Lytkin blessed Vladimir Gordeev to serve as a “reader” in our parish. Vladimir is fourth year student of Lutheran Theological Seminary (Novosibirsk), member of SELC from the town Shadrinsk.
Sometimes we call “readers” also “sub-deacons”. They help at Divine liturgy (mostly by reading the Scripture), they conduct morning and evening prayers. Thus, they role is “liturgical”, so we want seminarians to be in this service.
