Archimandrite Zacharias (Zacharou) of the Holy Monastery of the Honourable Forerunner in Essex, England offers a glimpse of what he learned from his elder the saintly Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), what he felt in his heart when in his presence and what he saw in the hearts of others who met with the elder.

"Coming into contact with Father Sophrony was always an event of a most especial kind. His monastics, first and foremost, but also those who made up his wider spiritual family, 'lived,' as Father Zacharias put it, 'in an abundance of the word of God.'"

Metropolitan Kallistos says that Elder Sophrony wanted his monastery to stay loyal to the tradition of Orthodoxy, but at the same time be open to the spirit of the world. He explains how monks in Essex Monastery practiced hospitality, and why Elder Sophrony wanted his monks be well-educated, so they could give proper guidance to those who asked for it.
