In Memory of Father Peter, by Gillian Crow

On 11th September we will mark the anniversary of the death of our beloved Father Peter, who for many years was the Chairman of the Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh Foundation, for which he worked tirelessly. We owe him a great debt.

Fr Peter Scorer exemplified in many ways the world and culture of the Russian emigration, out of which the Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius also was born. He was among the senior clergy of what is now the Deanery of the Archdiocese of Thyateira, one of a dwindling number ordained by Metropolitan Anthony and formed by his vision of the Church. A lecturer in Russian and a dedicated churchman, Peter was someone who built bridges, spanned cultures and brought people together. He had a gift for creating community and enlivening any gathering. He was wonderful company, with an irrepressible wit that overlay wise and mature judgement; an endless source of stories both entertaining and illuminating, a warm and gracious host and an open-hearted friend.

Boris used to come regularly to London, prayed in the Cathedral and had many private meetings with metropolitan Anthony.
