AUTHORS/ Sophrony (Sakharov), Sergei Born into a Russian Orthodox family in Moscow in 1896, Archimandrite Sophrony embarked on a successful career as a painter in Paris. There he delved into Eastern religions for a time, before repenting bitterly of this and returning to the faith of his childhood. After a brief period of theological study in Paris, he left for the ancient orthodox monastic republic of Mount Athos in Greece, where he spent fifteen years in a monastery and a further seven as a hermit "in the desert." on Mount Athos he became the spiritual son of a simple monk of holy life, Elder Silouan. It was under the guidance of Elder Silouan that Fr. Sophrony experienced divine illumination, knowing God intimately as Personal Absolute - as the one Who revealed Himself to the Prophet Moses as "I AM" and Who became incarnate as man in Jesus Christ. In 1959, Fr. Sophrony founded the Monastic Community of St. John the Baptist in Essex, England, which has since become a major orthodox spiritual center for all of Western Europe. His books on the life and teaching of his elder, Fr. Silouan - published most recently in a single volume, as Saint Silouan the Athonite - led to the canonization of Elder Silouan by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the orthodox Church in 1988. Elder Sophrony reposed in 1993, at the age of ninety-seven.
