ELCIR soccer team plays in Dialog of Religions tournament

Senior Pastor Igor Alisov of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Moscow talks about the Dialog of Religions, an interfaith mini football tournament (a type of indoor soccer, five-a-side) which was held at Spartak FC Academy Stadium in Sokolniki, Moscow, on May 1, 2023:
 
“Cooperation among religious organizations in the form of sports is very interesting. It’s quite peculiar because a religious organization is, for the most part, concerned with spirituality. Sports help religious organizations and their members find a common language with each other. Healthy competition is a good context for different religious confessions in Russia to build friendships.”
