Archpriest Aleksa Todorović (1899–1990), Disciple of Saint Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich

The purpose of this paper is to offer a brief overview of the life and activities of Archpriest Aleksa Todorović, a longtime associate of Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich. As the administrator of the Diocese of Žiča, Bishop Nicholai transferred Fr Aleksa Todorović to Kraljevo in 1935. In the following years, Todorović was active in the God Worshipper movement [known also as God–Prayer movement, i.e. Godworshipping movement (in Serbian — богомољачки покрет / bogomoljački pokret)] led by Bishop Nicholai, and from then on their cooperation and closeness began, which would last until Velimirovich’s death. In the God Worshipper movement, priest Todorović was the president of the main administration, and in addition to the general assemblies, he initiated and organized regular quarterly assemblies in the Diocese of Žiča. For the great effort in the pastoral activity, Fr. Aleksa was honored with the rank of archpriest by Bishop Nicholai.
