The activities of our association began with small good actions in several Orthodox churches in memory of Andrey. And three years later, these steps led to the creation of the Christian association «Andrey Bernsky» with activities for the Glory of God.

We believe that spiritually Andrey participates in all the affairs of the association. And the words he wrote in 2016 are very aligned with our activities and the purpose of the association:

The unity of world is very important, but how should we define «what is unity» at all? There's only one way to touch it - to feel it. In general I love logic. But it will not be possible to use it here: after all, what is logical and truthful for one can be an empty sound for another. That's why I want to look at it from the other side. We can say that real unity is something that is determined not by words, but by feelings.

This unity of the world reminds me of unity with God, who is personally invisible to us, but in whom we believe. So I think it's possible to believe in unity with someone else. That's what we call love. We can suffer for this unity and hope to keep it forever. Therefore, unity is the idea we believe in. And if we make such a choice and believe in our unity with someone, that's how it will be, and it's beautiful.
