Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky)
Aleksey Pavlovich Khrapovitsky (17/29 March 1863, Novgorod province – 10 August 1936, Yugoslavia) - a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Russian Empire, the Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia, who after the defeat of Gen Pyotr Wrangel's White Army in South Russia in November 1920 emigrated and in 1921 settled down in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia. He, along with several other Russian bishops in exile, established an independent Russian church administration that sought to embrace all Russian Orthodox diaspora, known as the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR).
So how does the Church fulfill her role as the treasury of divine revelation?
She, firstly, testifies to the canon and the uncorrupted content of Scripture or the Bible; secondly, it preserves and successively passes from generation to generation those truths of faith and rules of piety which were transmitted to her by the holy apostles orally: this is called, in particular, Apostolic Tradition; thirdly, it possesses the gift of grace to infallibly expound God’s word or the truths of Holy Scripture and, when perplexity and controversy arises, to give these truths an accurate definition called dogma.
