27 February – 2 March the seminar for Ministers of the Siberian deanery of the Church of Ingria was held in Novosibirsk.

The Seminary of the Siberian Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELC) was chosen for the second time as the venue for such a meeting – the previous meeting of pastors of the Siberian deanery of the Church of Ingria was held there in 2016.

On Tuesday the teacher of the Seminary of the SELC Rev. Pavel Khramov read a lecture on the Gospel of Mark. He also presented a very interesting and useful lecture on pastoral theology.

On Wednesday ELCI Bishop Arri Kugappi had arrived from St. Petersburg and joined the meeting participants.

On Wednesday morning SELC Bishop Vsevolod Lytkin served the Liturgy and ELCI Bishop Arri Kugappi had a sermon.
