| Macedonia wants to give monument of St. Clement of Ochrid to Kiev Caves Lavra Moscow, February 20, 2017 Photo: 2000.ua Macedonia has expressed the desire to give a monument to the Slavic writer, hierarch, and saint, Clement of Ochrid to Ukraine, possibly to the Holy Dormition Kiev Caves Lavra. This was announced after a meeting of Ukrainian Minister of Culture Eugene Nischuk and Macedonian ambassador Stole Zmejkoski, reports 2000.ua . “During the meeting we discussed the question of establishing a monument to the pan-Slavic enlightener St. Clement of Ochrid on the territory of the Kiev Caves Lavra, as a gift from Macedonia to the Ukrainian people,” said a source in the Ukrainian ministry. The question will be decided by UNESCO after examining documentation and sketches to ensure that the monument would not have a negative impact on the state of the ancient Ukrainian monastery. Nischuk assured the ambassador that the Ministry of Culture will facilitate the implementation of the project. St. Clement (+ 916) was a disciple of Sts. Cyril and Methodius and the first Slavic writer. After the death of St. Methodius he fled from the Latin persecution into Bulgaria. Bulgarian Prince Boris I sent St. Clement to preach in the western part of the first Bulgarian Kingdom, particularly to Kutmicevica and Ochrid. There he established the Ochrid literary school, one of the oldest cultural centers of the Bulgarian Kingdom in the Balkans. He was unanimously elected the first “Bishop of the Slavic Language” at the national council of 893. Tsar Simeon made Clement the bishop of Wieliczka, and according to some he later became bishop of Belgrade. He was the first Bulgarian hierarch to serve, preach, and write in the Slavic language. 20 февраля 2017 г.

The metropolitan pointed out to Billy Graham’s Christ-centered sermons. ‘He was a Protestant preacher but the spirit of his preaching was Orthodox.

The son of the preacher and continuer of his cause, Franklin Graham, too, spoke about his father’s love of Russia and the Russian Church: ‘My father’s heart was very much disposed to the people of Russia; he prayed for them, He came not for the sake of politics and for speaking about Christ Who assumed our sins’, the leader of the Evangelical Association recalled. In spite of the fact that Billy Graham ‘did not want to be spoken about himself but wished that all the glory should go only to God, he was delighted at the publication of this book’, the preacher’s son recalled. Metropolitan Hilarion and Franklin Graham also recalled with warmth the only meeting His Eminence had with Billy Graham, which was a great joy for the both.

| Let us bow down, brothers and sisters, who hunger and thirst after righteousness, with our hearts, to the pure life-giving source of Holy Scripture. Without it, the soul is doomed to decay and spiritual death. With it the soul blossoms, as paradisiacal flowers, saturated with verbal, life-giving dew, worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Priest Andrei Chizhenko Translated by Jesse Dominick Pravlife.org 11 мая 2017 г.

Ted Bobosh Methodius: The Deep Things of the Scriptures Fr. Ted Bobosh In the world today, especially in American Christianity, there are divisive debates opposing biblical literalists with those who do not think every scriptural verse was or is meant to be read only literally. Similar debates occurred from the beginnings of Christianity. The Gospel in the Church Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky) The Gospel in the Church Archbishop Nikon (Rklitsky) The quiet wind of heavenly life blows within Christ’s Church. Through her is established a connection to the World on High, and mystical contact with eternity. In her is defeated death, which becomes a rest from labors and a portal to " the best and most useful. " Nevertheless, the majority of people, blinded by the sorry trumpery of life, does not notice the mystical spiritual life in the Church and cannot draw from her that water of life, about which the Lord said that those who drink of it shall never thirst; that is, they will receive complete spiritual fulfillment. |

| The June 2012 Issue of the Journal of Moscow Patriarchate is Out The June 2012 issue of the Zhurnal Moskovsoj Patriarkhii [Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate] is prefaced by a letter from His Eminence Metropolitan Ilarion of Volokolamsk: “Eminent Archpastors, Dear Fathers, Brothers and Sisters: Signing of the Act of Canonical Communion by Metropolitan Laurus and Patriarch Alexiy II in May 2008. A great event occurred in May, 2012: the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. The times have faded into the past when Russian Orthodoxy outside of the borders of Russia was divided into jurisdictions, the representatives of which had no ecclesial communion amongst themselves. Behind us now are the times when the Russian Orthodox Church of the emigres was called the “Karlovtsi schism,” while these emigres accused the Moscow Patriarchate of collaboration with the communists. The reasons for division are left in the past, but we have needed years of communication, of mutual recognition, and especially of wisdom, courage and discernment in order to achieve this. The path to unity was difficult, but all the more cherished as a result. Eternal memory to those who contributed to the matter of reunification: His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II and Metropolitan Laurus of blessed memory. In May, the Russian Orthodox Church ceremoniously marked the feast day of SS Cyril and Methodius, Equal-to-the-Apostles, the Illuminators of the Slavs. On that day, the fullness of the Russian Church prayed for her Primate, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, who was celebrating his namesday. Participating in the ceremonies with Patriarch Kirill was a delegation of the Greek Church, headed by His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece, who was making his first official visit to the territory of the Russian Church. The namesday of His Holiness the Patriarch became a celebration of ecclesiastical unity, when all together, in the ancient Uspensky Cathedral, and later on Vasilievsky Spusk, representatives of Local Orthodox Churches prayed, along with hierarchs of the Russian diaspora, headed by His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America and New York, a host of bishops and pastors, and thousands of worshipers.” jmp.ru/archiv/Jmp_6_2012_small.pdf Official website of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad 12 июня 2012 г. ...
