On September 9, 2020, His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion, the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad wrote a letter to Archpriest Igor Tarasov regarding the book written by our Rector.

In his letter Metropolitan Hilarion informed that he finished reading the book titled “The Talks on the Nicene Creed” which was recently presented to him by Fr. Igor. The First Hierarch believes that the book is “terrific, wonderful and very easy to read”, a reader of which acquires a lot of important information regarding our Orthodox Christian faith. His Eminence further says that the author magnificently uses the facts and examples to illustrate his thoughts, and answers a number of questions the people may ask about the Church life. He believes that the book is very useful for the pastors who may find many explanations and advises regarding Sacred Scripture and Church traditions.
