At the basis of the ideology of the Russian Church Abroad is a fervent and sincere intention - whatever might happen, regardless of any contemporary evil influences and tendencies - to remain faithful to God's Truth, to remain totally devoted to the Founder of the Church, Christ the Saviour, and to the Evangelical teaching on faith and piety which He brought to earth without any human corruptions or distortions, and preserve the full spiritual freedom which Christ gave to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church which He founded on earth for men's salvation. Archbishop Averky
