04 — Preacher and Teacher

St. Dimitri “the Russian Chrysostom”: the preaching that made his name from his earliest years in the Ukrainian and Lithuanian lands to his episcopate at Rostov, and the catechetical program — the instruction of a poorly-formed clergy and people — that was the heart of his pastoral work.

This section covers Dimitri as homilist and catechist: the sermons themselves, and the wider pastoral-teaching program of which they were the instrument.
