‘Spiritual Leader Stephen Sorokin
‘Makes Visit to Grand Forks

By Betty Makortoff

Grand Forks Gazette
On Aug. 24, I was driving
 down'a road in Grand Forks
* when I camo upon many cars
parking and a large crowd
gathering inthe Naedot ofahome.
? = Upon enquiring I was told that:
3 3: Stephan Sorokin, the spiritual
$ leader of the Sons of Freedom
= Religious sect was due to arrive

% momentarily.

I stayed on with the crowd
ind waited with them, This
{seemed much more than a
‘eeoineidence’. in my life, for
lately I've been thinking a great

Many puzzling questions
uuldn’t find answers to.

wondered why there were such _

isconflicting beliefs between
traces and sects, yet the desired
vigoal was always the same.
: I thought of Quebec, Ire-
land, Israel, the Arab nations,
and other countries where
"people could no longer commun-
ieate their needs to each other _
even though their language was.
“the same. Yet despite their
differences each individual has
the same need... to have
enough to eat, to live in a
peaceful environment, to be
loved, to have a safe journey
through life, to see their
children grow up safely, etc.

This is the common bond
between humanity .... And so
I cleared my mind of opinions
and beliefs and prepared for a
privileged afternoon,

Mr. and Mrs, Sorokin soon
arrived with their friends and
associates. I spoke with Mr,
Sorokin for a few minutes and I
expressed my views about
various religions and their
common bond, I asked if he
would consent in making a few
comments along the same line
of thought. He agreed and we
spent a most enjoyable two
hours visiting.

Mr. Sorokin's conversation
began about the new settle-
ment of the Sons of Freedom in
Krestova. “Settlements are re-
built all over the hillsides and
throughout the valley where
once burnt remains of homes
stood, A new start in more
ways than one, for the people
have learned by their past
mistakes and are striving for a
more harmonious bond be-
tween themselves.”

On a very small seale they
are experiencing the same
conflicts as in Ireland and
Israel. There was a period of
burnings and -bombings
throughout British. Columbia.
Mr. Sorokin said that there are
two kinds of peace. Political
peace and spiritual peace. The
Sons of. Freedom in earlier
years claimed they were striv-
ing for spiritual peace. They
‘were observing the discord in
the world and they began to
bring attention upon them-
selves by bombings and the
burning of their homes. They
wanted to protest-to’ prevent
the coming a a Srd world war.

‘The burnings were done by
many, the bombings by only a

few, and fortunately no one was
injured or killed. After some
time had passed, the thought
did*come to the people, “What
is the use of protesting when
we are only reproducing a war
ona small scale and defeating
our own purpose.” Along with
this came the realization that

Stephen Sorokin
‘they had been striving for a
Political peace, not a spiritual
one. s

Mr. Sorokin had never
advocated anything but a
peaceful existence for these
people, and after being their
spiritual leader for 25 years,
feels that his efforts are being
rewarded. The community of
Krestova has been rebuilt with
& prayer house, and young
families have formed a choir
and discussion groups.

Tasked Mr. Sorokin how he
encourages his people to keep
growing and he replied, “Their
deeds... they must continue

cultivating their deeds and live,

by the true Doukhoborism, to
follow Christ's teachings. All

disharmony on earth stems
from negative thinking which
man creates. You must first
correct yourself before you
pray to God, I am trying to give
them ideas... and when they
apply the ideas, they in turn
learn to correct themselves,”

“God does not punish... »

people punish themselves.
They create their own negative
thoughts, The earth is filled
with negativity and it is time
every. one realized that we
must struggle towards peace.
‘That is the only hope to bring
the earth back to harmony.”

Mr. Sorokin spent the
afternoon and evening speaking

~ te-the crowd, thapbe and his
wife Ann mingled with individ-
uals, The atmosphere was very
informal and happy.

The Sorokins spent the
night in Grand Forks and
returned to their home in
Krestova the following day.
They have two children, Sonya
16, and Nicolas 17 years old. “
