Nicholas Zernov

Nicholas Zernov (also Nicolas; October 9 1898 [O.S. September 21] - 25 August 1980) (Cyrillic: Николай Михайлович Зернов) was a Russian émigré and lay Orthodox theologian. He was born in Moscow and died in Oxford. One of the founders of the Anglican-Orthodox ecumenical group the Fellowship of Saint Alban and Saint Sergius, Zernov organized the Anglo-Russian Student Conferences of 1927 and 1928 that gave strong impetus to theological contact among English-speaking Christians and Orthodox Christians who had fled Russia after the Russian Revolution of 1917. He was an associate of A. M. Allchin, Georges Florovsky and other prominent figures in Anglican-Orthodox relations in the 20th century. He held a D.Phil. degree of the University of Oxford and a degree from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Orthodox Theology. With his wife Militza, whom he married in 1927 (née Lavrova; 1899–1994; she was a doctor),^[1] he wrote The Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius: a historical memoir in 1979 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fellowship. They were also joint editors of "За рубежом. Белград-Париж-Оксфорд. Хроника семьи Зерновых, 1921-1972", Paris: Y.M.C.A. Press, 1973.

Following his death, and in accordance with his wishes, his personal library was taken from Oxford to the Library of Foreign Literature in Moscow.
