В.В. Симонов Summary The proposed Manual for the first time in Russian scientific and educational literature sets out a common history of Christianity, which is considered from the point of view of the historical dynamics of Church organizational and doctrinal unity. The general logic of the material exposure is determined by issues that seem to authors fundamental for specific historical periods: «What (vol. l, pt. 1), how (vol. 1, pt. 2), and where (vol. 2, pt. 1) to believe in order to be saved – or does it even need to believe? (vol. 2, pt. 2)». Volume 1 of the Manual covers the period from the foundation of the Church to the formation of the prerequisites of the Protestant Reformation – the time of sharp doctrinal discussions that had significant implications on the organizational structure of the institutional Christian Church. Part 2 of this volume in a broad historical context highlights the issues related to the development of Church orthodoxy and the formation of various deviations from it. Throughout the millennium considered dogmatic differences introduce an element of instability in the universalist claim of Christianity, which in the orga­nizational field brought to many Church divisions on confessional lines. The main question of the period: «How to believe in order to be saved?» IV-VI centuries was the time when Christianity had moved from position of persecuted by all «forbidden» religion to position of an equal initially, and then – the state religion of the Roman Empire. Paganism was finally disappearing. It was the time of significant changes in the organizational structure of the Christian Church, based on the principle of hierarchy: strengthening of the system of terri­torial administration with sole episcopal governing of dioceses with the recogni­tion of the leading role of Church Councils (Ecumenical and Local) as the top col­legiate Church government institutions. At the same time the unity of the Church doctrine and organizational structure was threatened by early heresies – i.e. deviations from the general Church doctrine, touched the very Christian faith (Donatism, Arianism). Direct threat to the organi­zational unity of the Church represented the teachings of the Alexandrian presbyter Arius on μοια – subordination of God the Son to God the Father, on which basis appeared some influential Church groups opposed to the bishops, who professed and developed the «orthodox» doctrine, consecrated by Church tradition. Later, in V-VI cent., the main issues of concern to the Church were questions about the connection of the divine and the human in the hypostasis of God the Son, and, re­spectively, on the content of the incarnation of the Logos (Word of God).

Archpriest Lawrence Farley 12 May 2014 The Church As House Of Mercy Sunday of the Paralytic Healed to Rise Up and Walk One wonders sometimes about why the Gospel story of the healing of the paralytic was chosen for the Paschal season.  One understands why the stories of Thomas and the Myrrh-bearers were chosen, but the paralytic?  Perhaps our incomprehension is rooted in our modern separation of Pascha from baptism.  In the early Church from at least the time of Tertullian (d. 220), Pascha was considered as  the  time for baptism, and the spectacle of many catechumens lining up to be baptized in the baptistery (a separate building in those days) and then processing with solemn joy into the church to be anointed with laying on of hands by the bishop forged an indelible link in people’s minds between Pascha and baptism.  Even now in our Pascha-night Liturgy, in place of the Trisagion hymn we sing “As many as have been baptized into Christ.”  In early tradition, Pascha meant baptism and baptism always had a paschal feel to it.  The two were inextricably linked.
