FOR the Anglicans of Kyiv, Monday evening was a rare opportunity to meet a Church of England priest. Her daughter, Margot Stafiichuk, is one of the stalwarts of Christ Church, Kyiv. She was baptised in the Swiss Reformed Church, and confirmed in the German Lutheran Church, the denomination that owns the building in which the Anglicans meet. She attended the Anglican Sunday school, and then she, with her family, became committed members of the congregation. Mark, who works at the US embassy, is a Lutheran, but there is no English Lutheran community in Kyiv, and so the Anglican church presents an accessible option.
