Sparked by U.S. pressure and revived through diplomatic channels, the seminary — founded in 1844 and once home to key clergy including the current Patriarch — is now back on the negotiating table after decades of stalemate. While no reopening date is set, Orthodox leaders see this as a pivotal moment, calling it “the water entering the trough” — the real work has begun. Challenges remain, including building renovations and legal frameworks, but the door is finally open again. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
