Share this article Share Nuns with mops are seen arriving afterwards to dry the puddles.The Russian Orthodox church is planning to take action against the priest over the video which has gone viral in Russia this week - even though the baptism was two years ago.Archpriest Mikhail Samokhin, of the Pyatigorsk and Circassian diocese, said: 'The priest acted too harshly.'He has been suspended from officiating at services and he will he will be judged by the church court.'The court has the power to remove his holy orders.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
