The Teachings of Nil Sorsky
Spiritual pioneer Nil Sorsky is campaigning for reform within the Church as a response to the wealth and materialism that has crept into some Country Adjective monasteries. His movement, known as the Non-Possessors, is proposing a return to the principles of poverty and humility, with emphasis on a simple lifestyle fully devoted to the teachings of Christ. Any such attempts will likely encounter resistance by the established Church, who believe it is imperative to retain some material wealth in order to carry out its functions.

5242historical_info = flavor_mos.47.historical_info Nil Sorsky was a Russian Orthodox monk who helped shape the movement known as the Non-Possessors. It consisted of monks who sought a strict adherence to monastic poverty, thereby criticizing the ownership of land and wealth by the monasteries. The teachings faced opposition from some within the Church who were resistant to the changes proposed. Nevertheless, his teaching left a lasting mark on Russian spirituality and Nil Sorsky is today regarded as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
