Multimedia Contact us Искать Искать Heeding the Message of St. Gregory: On the Second Sunday of the Great Fast Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna 16 March 2014 Today, the second Sunday of the Great Fast, the Orthodox Church worldwide celebrates the memory of St. Gregory Palamas, fourteenth-century Archbishop of Thessaloniki and one of the greatest Fathers of the Orthodox Church. Until this century, because of the influence of the West—the Jesuits in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century Russia and the Lutherans who were appointed as the Ministers of Religion under the first King of Greece, a German Lutheran, placed in power in Greece after its liberation from the Turkish Yoke at the beginning of the nineteenth century—, St. Gregory Palamas was a virtual mystery to Orthodox theologians. This man, whom we hymn as “ ho phoster tes Orthodoxias ” (the “Enlightener of Orthodoxy”) and “ to sterigma tes Ekklesias ” (the “Pillar of the Church”), taught and lived our Faith in a purity which, except in the hidden confines of monasteries and in the hearts of the simple people—who could not articulate what they knew of Orthodoxy—, was lost to the neo-Papism of Patriarchalism, Western notions of “officialdom,” and to nationalism and ethnicity, which are nothing more than a return to heathenism.

Fr Gregory is Dean of the Antiochian Orthodox Deanery of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Статья Introduction The title of this modest essay reveals its purpose. The author brings before our fathers in God, the hierarchy of the bishops in Great Britain and Ireland, what he believes to be a timely question: “how might the ordained diaconate be expressed in the contemporary Church, mindful of its historical development and legacy? "  This question is timely for a number of reasons: 1. The question itself reflects the mind of the Church. In a recent study on the diaconate the deacon Dr John Chryssavgis cites 16 sources of Orthodox theological reflection concerning the subject over the last 50 years. 2. There is a growing awareness of the need to reassess the diaconate in order to improve its fitness for service in the Church today. However, problems remain. Theological reflection and even consensus on possible ways forward has not been matched by practical change. Indeed, there are some parts of the Church where deacons are almost invisible. Sometimes this happens in the diaspora where churches experience difficulties in funding full-time ministries. Financial expediency has often made the addition of a deacon to a parish ministry team an unaffordable luxury. Yet more intractable issues are obscured by these practical problems and may in the long run prove more difficult to overcome. The most serious of these concerns a deformation in the diaconate, common in the west in heterodox traditions, whereby a deacon is thought to be merely a stepping stone to the priesthood. The fact that some Orthodox churches today share the same view is a tragedy. This distorted view of the diaconate undermines the whole notion of a complementary threefold ordained ministry which has proved its effectiveness over centuries. It is in turn based on a more radical misunderstanding of each of those three expressions of priesthood, that is, of the bishop, the priest and the deacon. Deacon John Chyssavgis puts it well in his seminal work on the diaconate:

On the second Sunday of Great Lent the memory of St. Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica, is celebrated. Archbishop Gregory was an enlightened man and a remarkable theologian who had experience of the monastic life on Mount Athos. In the distant fourteenth century he distinguished himself as an especially penetrating spiritual thinker. In his works he defended the Divine Light of Tabor, asserting that the light Christ manifest to the disciples on Tabor was not an ordinary light, as some thought, but a visible manifestation of Divine energy, of Divine grace.

Multimedia Contact us Искать Искать Golgotha. What is the Purpose of Christ’s Death on the Cross? The Cross is the main symbol of Christianity. The Cross is the focus of sorrow. But the Cross is also the protection and the source of joy for a Christian. Why was the Cross necessary? Why were Christ’s sermons and His miracles not enough? Why was it not enough for our salvation and union with God that God, the Creator, became man, a creature? Why, in the words of Saint Gregory the Theologian, did we have a need not only of an incarnated God but also for a sacrificed One? Protodeacon Andrei Kuraev 22 April 2011 On Secular Churches and the Mystical Sacrifice The Reason Christ Revealed Himself This is The Purpose for the Whole Earth Good Friday: A Call from Christ to Die with Him On Passover night, lambs were supposed to be slaughtered and eaten. A Passover meal had to include a roasted lamb. But the rules of Kashrut (that which is allowed by Judaism) mandate that meat must not contain any blood. According to Josephus Flavius, 265 thousand lambs were slaughtered in Jerusalem for Passover. Herod Agrippa, in order to estimate the number of pious families, ordered that the number of sacrifices should be counted; they turned out to be 600 thousand… And it was necessary to drain all blood from all these hundreds of thousands of animals. If one keeps in mind that Jerusalem did not have a sewer system, one can imagine the amount of blood flowing down the city’s streets toward the stream of Kedron.

Today we will be speaking about St. Gregory Palamas and the essence of hesychasm. The Council of Constantinople in 1351, which took place 650 years ago, clearly and definitively affirmed the experience and theology of hesychasm. The first such council had met ten years earlier, in 1341, at which Palamas and his Athonite monks presented the Hagioritic Tome, in which they set forth the essence of their experience and of their theological confession against Barlaam. Later, in 1347, another Council met, this time against Akindynos; by then Barlaam had already left and become a cardinal, a bishop of the Pope, after which he took up the fight against hesychast theology.

There are lots of hierarch saints whom we honour throughout the year in the Church, but this is a feast of three together, although they also each have their own day on which we commemorate them. They’re Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom. All three were important Fathers of the Church who strove to clarify and crystallize Dogma, for the unity of the faith and the needs of philosophy and letters. From about 1100, it’s been the custom to hold a common feast for them. This came about because of friction between Christians regarding the importance of each of them separately. The common service was written by Ioannis Mavropous, Bishop of Euchaita.
