Out of Russia's Other Sects The Old Believers Faith
The Old Believers or Men of the Ancient Faith are a Russian sect clinging to pre reform texts and rites. They use the old Slavonic liturgical books and differ in cross sign and processions. Some refuse certain foods and even claim beards are unlawful. They shun civil authority at times and live in poverty with meeting houses in homes. Persecuted under Peter I, later rulers sought to win them back to the church. Three routes for a cable line proposals are noted.
