Persecution still exists in Soviet religious life

Lydia Staskevich, a 41 year old Pentecostal nurse in Moscow, endures raids and intimidation as she and her family worship in unregistered churches. She joins thousands of dissidents facing KGB pressure, church closures, and arrests while seeking to emigrate. Keston College notes 330 prisoners of conscience as of December, with church life reportedly strengthening despite repression.

Americans Find Religious Life Confusing in Soviet Union

In Leningrad during the white nights, American visitors encountered a revival of faith shadowed by fear. Protest banners in English claimed Baptist pastors were imprisoned in Moscow and other cities. An usher cried when learning the banners’ meaning, while worshippers faced uncertainty about state control, and a physicist who read U.S. science books sought a way out of the country.

Exodus Meeting Behind the Rock Reveals God’s Back

The passage recalls Moses asking to see God and God promising to pass by in mercy. He hides Moses in a rock cleft, shielding him with a hand until his glory passes, allowing Moses to see only God’s back rather than his face. The dialogue emphasizes divine mystery and mercy.
