After visiting St Petersburg our ship steamed to Mandrogi and later to Kizhi where we saw the amazing wooden church there, made entirely of wood, including the nails. When we were there it was undergoing renovation work and so in my photo you see the middle onion domes are missing. I bought a book which had a photo of the church when entire. We saw a man making shingles to be fixed in the domes. Someone pointed out that the ends of his first and second fingers on his left hand were missing!! Use Google to find more details of this church.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
