On August 15, 2023, at the weekly youth gathering at St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York, a lecture on prayer at home was given by Priest Artemy Sys, a cleric of Novo-Diveevo Convent of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
As always on Tuesdays, a moleben was served for the participants before the youth gathering. The service was celebrated by the rector of the cathedral, Archpriest Igor Vyzhanov, with Priest Artemy Sys.
The lecture, which Fr. Artemy gave in the parish hall, aroused great interest among the listeners. Its content was based on the Orthodox patristic teaching on prayer and presented in simple, accessible language. After the lecture, the priest answered questions from those present.
