Among the Orthodox Christians living there are Russian emigres of the post-World War II period and their descendants, Russian and Ukrainian immigrants after the fall of the USSR, Palestinians, as well as Chilean converts. Orthodox services have become a regular occurrence since March, 2006, in a building in the Arab section known as Estadio Arabe. They are conducted mostly in Spanish, some prayers are read in Church Slavonic and Arabic. Concepcion’s Protopriest Alexei Aedo Vilugron of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia conducts the services. The parish belongs to ROCOR’s South American Diocese under His Grace Bishop John of Caracas and South America. Fr Alexei is Chilean by birth, having accepted Orthodox Christianity with his heart and soul. By his efforts and persistence, his focus and a great deal of labor, with reliance on God’s help, work on building the first-ever Orthodox Church in the south of Chile commenced in August 2011. The consecration of the cornerstone and erection of a cross on the site of the future church was performed by Vladyka John on December 5, 2010, in the presence of representatives of the local authorities and of the Russian Embassy. The Palestinian community of Concepcion donated the parcel of land for the church (costing approximately US and measuring 758 sq. m.). Donations by the parishioners covered all the expenses of the preliminary construction stages (planning and documentation). In July 2011, the community received aid from the Chilean government in the amount of 30M pesos (about The funds covered closing the perimeter of the property, excavations, foundation (1.5 m deep and 1.1 m wide), and the metal framework for the walls. Concepcion is in within Chile’s earthquake zone: the last earthquake, which struck in February 2010, measured 8.8 on the Richter Scale. For this reason, construction standards here are stringent and costly. Construction has been temporarily halted due to a lack of funds.

| Patriarch Kirill: " If freedom violates the Divine plan, then it is not freedom, but slavery "/Православие.Ru Patriarch Kirill: " If freedom violates the Divine plan, then it is not freedom, but slavery " Moscow, March 30, 2014 " Destruction of traditional values today also affects interpersonal relations,” noted His Holiness Patriarch Kirill at the meeting with members of the " Women in business " All-Russian social organization. “We know that even the facts that a marriage means relations between a man and a woman and that a choice of gender is not an intellectual and volitional one, but a Divine choice, are now being disputed. Children are already being taught this. They are told: ‘You should choose yourself whether you are a boy or a girl’; that is, what was founded by God is being destroyed by people, ostensibly for the sake of freedom. " But then, what is freedom like? If freedom ruins the Divine plan of the world and of mankind, then it is not freedom, but slavery. And we know that the devil enslaves a man, because the most dangerous captivity is to be not free from sin, when a person cannot live in accordance with his or her calling, " stressed the Patriarch. 31 марта 2014 г.

But as long as self-awareness is preserved, no one can take authority over this freedom—not another man, nor society, nor laws, nor any regime, nor demons, nor angels, nor even God Himself. Saint Macarius of Egypt (fourth century) said: " You are created in the image and likeness of God; therefore just as God is free and creates what He wants … so are you free.

| Tweet Нравится Unknown manuscript of Elder Nikodim of Karoulia found on Mt. Athos Moscow, March 2, 2017 Photo: Facebook.com A previously unknown manuscript of beloved twentieth-century Athonite elder Nikodim of Karoulia has been discovered on Mt. Athos, reports director of the International Institute of the Athonite Legacy in Ukraine and editor of the anthology The Athonite Legacy Sergei Shumilo on his Facebook page . Photo: Facebook.com The document, entitled “The Voice of Russian Monks from Athos to the Suffering Russian People Living in the Fatherland and Scattered Throughout the Whole World,” is dated to 1966. Shumilo notes that he consulted with other scholars of the twentieth century Russian emigration, and they were previously unaware of such a document. The next step is to prepare it for publication, according to the Ukrainian scholar. As Shumilo writes, Elder Nikodom of Karoulia was highly respected and a practitioner of the unceasing Jesus Prayer. Athonite monks of various nationalities came to him for advice, in addition to secular activists, writers, and generals, particularly from the Russian emigration. The elder absolutely rejected the Bolshevik Revolution and Soviet Power. Karoulia is the harshest region of Mt. Athos, on its southwestern tip, where hermits live in small huts on the vertical faces of huge rocks rising from the rough sea. Elder Nikodim reposed in one such cave on February 28, 1984 at 100 years old. Eyewitnesses say that for seventy-seven years he took absolutely no food during Great Lent.

| However concerned Davies may be over the future of wooden churches, his photography nonetheless celebrates Russia. His most recent work, Russian Types and Scenes , attempts to capture the people and places encountered during the making of Wooden Churches . There are many " extraordinary everyday things " to chronicle, from landing in fields next to wooden airport terminals to being questioned by authorities in towns with intercontinental ballistic missile sites. Likewise, portraits of Russians from the North, accompanied by quotations from Russian stories, give an insight into the complexity of the Russian character. " I know that the people of the Russian North are kind and generous " , Davies observes. " They are independent and hardy and have learned to survive through their own efforts in their stunningly beautiful land. " His love for Russians shines through in his preface to Types and Scenes - a passage from Labour politician Charles Buxton’s In a Russian Village : like Buxton before him, Davies hopes that his work " may help others think of Russia, not as an abstraction, not as a unit, but as a very large number of very interesting human beings, most of them lovable. " At a time of extreme political disagreement, the openness and curiosity of those like Davies is to be celebrated: a cross-cultural dialogue and exchange of ideas through travel and artistic expression.

| There was also a strong seventh-century Mediterranean influence on the texts that I mentioned earlier; some of this influence was from Rome and Gaul, and some from Middle Eastern and North African exiles who had gathered in Rome. Also, you’ve got the strange depictions of animals, elongated dogs and other creatures that are quite distinctly Germanic, and the threelegged, so-called, triskeles that are Irish. There was mutual influence here. There is uncertainty about where many of these manuscripts actually originated. The Book of Kells could have come from a Northumbrian workshop via Iona. It contains an icon of the Mother of God that is pure Byzantine. So, in all these illuminated manuscripts you have the Romano-Greek Mediterranean influence, the Germanic influence, and the Irish influence, all beautifully synthesized. That is the reality and the beauty of the Church in this country – it had all of these elements. 30 марта 2009 г. Pelagianism: A heresy constructed by Pelagius, a fifth -century British lay ascetic, and Celestius, a priest, who denied the inheritance of the sin of Adam by his descendants, considering that each man is born innocent, and only thanks to moral freedom does he fall into sin. Pelagianism was condemned at the Third Ecumenical Council, along with Nestorianism. Monothelitism: Monothelitism was a softened form of Monophysitism. While acknowledging two natures in Christ, the Monothelites taught that in Christ there was only one will – namely the Divine will. Adherents of the doctrine included several patriarchs of Constantinople who were later excommunicated (Pyrrhus, Paul, Theodore) and Honorius, Pope of Rome. The teaching was rejected as false at the Sixth Ecumenical Council.

Without Christ, without the Gospel and the holy fathers we will not be able to receive the Divine Grace. Take pure babies, for example, little cherubs – their eyes shine! And if we persevere in cleansing our souls from the sin, then someone will notice something good in us as well. The most important thing is not to lose your heart and not to increase despondency. In order to see light in another person, we ourselves need to be filled with light,” Metropolitan Sergy said. 26 марта 2015 г.
