::::The fact that the Roerichites (both ideas and, by extension, people) are outside even the greyest lines of the Church is rather obvious to anyone reading this article. The problem that this makes is that OrthodoxWiki is an encyclopedia about Orthodoxy - for this article to stay, its relationship to something related to Orthodoxy needs to be brought out. Some examples from this talk page include the interaction between the Russian New-Agers and the Russian Orthodox Church, how the interaction has changed from before and after Soviet government, what parts of Orthodoxy the Roerichites affirm and deny (perhaps some similarities with the Gnostics in the early centuries of Christianity), influence that Roerich's paintings have had on Orthodox or on Orthodoxy. As it stands now, it's an article on a Russian new-ager who spent a lot of time in America and India. — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 18:51, January 7, 2008 (PST)
:::::Just picking up on this discussion 6 1/2 years later...agree with Fr Andrew's comments above and Pistevo's. Maybe a subject matter expert can update this? Otherwise, there is an extensive article on him in [[w:Nicholas Roerich|Wikipedia]]. [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 13:42, August 26, 2013 (HST)
