Inkerin kirkko

Inkerin Kirkko is the official magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria (Inkerin kirkko), a Lutheran church operating in Russia. The magazine was established in December 1991, before the church itself became independent from the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church. It was founded by the Ingrian deanery (Inkerin rovastikunta), with Leino Hassinen as its first editor-in-chief and Tatjana Paas as editorial secretary. Initially it appeared as an 18-page publication in separate Finnish and Russian editions; in 1994 these were merged into a single bilingual 28-page edition, with Aarre Kuukauppi becoming editor-in-chief. In 1996 Timo Kivioja became editorial secretary and Tatjana Paas became managing editor. In 2001 the magazine split again into separate Finnish and Russian editions, with Svetlana Kuukauppi serving as editorial secretary from 2001 to 2003. For two years the magazine was published by the Moscow-based Lutheran Hour, which added its own pages. In 2004 Pavel Krylov became managing editor of the Russian edition and Sisko Pörsti of the Finnish edition. Svetlana Kuukauppi returned as editor of the Russian edition on 1 April 2007. From the beginning of 2009, Tuulikki Vilhunen has been managing editor of the Finnish edition and Kristiina Paananen its editor. The magazine serves the Ingrian Lutheran community, providing religious news, prayer requests, and church-related content. Its website features weekly prayer intentions for various congregations and groups within the church, including those in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and Velikiye Luki, as well as news about church supporters and projects. The publication is closely tied to the church's mission and educational activities, such as the Keltto Theological Institute.

Inkerin Kirkko was founded in December 1991 by the Ingrian deanery (Inkerin rovastikunta), before the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria became an independent church on the territory of the Russian Federation, separate from the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church. The first editor-in-chief was Leino Hassinen, with Tatjana Paas as editorial secretary. Initially, the magazine was published as an 18-page edition in separate Finnish and Russian versions. In 1994, these were combined into a single bilingual edition of 28 pages, and Aarre Kuukauppi became editor-in-chief. In 1996, Timo Kivioja became editorial secretary and Tatjana Paas became managing editor. In 2001, the magazine was again divided into separate Finnish and Russian editions, with Svetlana Kuukauppi serving as editorial secretary from 2001 to 2003. For two years, the magazine was published by the Moscow-based Lutheran Hour (Luterilainen tunti), which appended its own pages. In 2004, Pavel Krylov became managing editor of the Russian edition and Sisko Pörsti of the Finnish edition. Svetlana Kuukauppi returned as editor of the Russian edition on 1 April 2007. From the beginning of 2009, Tuulikki Vilhunen has been managing editor of the Finnish edition and Kristiina Paananen its editor. The magazine continues to serve the Ingrian Lutheran community, with its website featuring weekly prayer requests and news about church activities and supporters.
