If you are a clergyman, this is no reason to neglect modern technology. This can not be better proved by the priest Pavel Ostrovsky. He decided to use social media to spread the word of God to the masses. This is what preachers have done throughout the centuries.

The priest has an Instagram page, a Telegram channel and a YouTube channel. In addition, the priest conducts a broadcast on the channel “Spas”.
Father Paul admitted that starting this activity was quite difficult. Both society and the church initially took it with distrust and sarcasm. However, the priest believed that it would be useful.
He talks about the importance of his mission: “Now you can live on Instagram and YouTube, reach audiences far from the Church, people can ask questions that interest them.” Thus, a person removes an internal barrier, a barrier. In the future, he may go to church. The fruits of missionary work are obvious to me here.”
The modern user of social networks does not need a mentor who will tire and tell how to live properly. And Father Paul understood it immediately. He communicates with his followers on equal terms. Sometimes he jokes, ironically and laughs at everyday affairs.
The most popular format of communication with subscribers is answers to questions on Instagram. It is worth saying that Father Paul took this category to a completely different level. Users were bribed by its straightforwardness and simplicity. Not only does he answer questions, but he also sometimes jokes about the authors.
Everyone wants to know the opinion of the priest on certain issues, but sometimes there is complete obscurantism. However, Father Paul does not ignore strange questions. On the contrary, it gives a clear answer. That's why subscribers love him. We invite you to enjoy these wonderful questions and even more interesting answers.
Often Father Paul jokes about marriage, calling it hell on earth. Sometimes they give very useful advice.
Sometimes people manage to ask the most strange questions. But the priest always has something to say.
Sometimes the priest makes fun of the stereotypes that exist around the church. He tells why priests have beards and why there are few thin men among them. Funny and sinful.
No kidding. However, do not think that his answers are only jokes. They just help attract an audience. In fact, in his answers, the priest touches on many topical topics. For example, he supports feminism, vaccination, and assistance during a pandemic. In general, the priest is a man of broad views.
It seems to us that priest Pavel Ostrovsky is doing a good deed. Even if not all of his followers decide to go to church, but perhaps something will change in their minds. It is important to convey sound thoughts to people, to push them to righteous thoughts. How do you feel about this format of communication with parishioners?
