Some 200 Orth. Churches to Be Built in Moscow; Govt. Allocates 81 Plots for Const. of Churches

Some 200 Orthodox Christian Churches will soon be constructed both in Moscow and new territories adjacent to the city under "the Big Moscow expansion plan," Russia's Duma (Congress) Member of Parliament and Patriarch adviser Vladimir Resin said today (November 8, 2012), according to the Voice of Russia website.

Resin said that 37 churches are now under construction in Moscow, and the government has already allocated 81 plots of land for the project.

The Moscow government has placed billboards all across the city urging people to donate money for the construction of the churches.

Moscow -- and indeed most of Russia -- has been experiencing an incredible upsurge in the religious worship of millions of its people since the collapse of the communist and godless Soviet Union in 1991.
