Сходны ли с истиной эти понятия о состоянии связанного духом, судите сами по собственным словам апостола: «я ни на что не взираю и не дорожу своею жизнью, только бы с радостью совершить поприще мое и служение, которое я принял от Господа Иисуса, проповедать Евангелие благодати Божией ( Деян. 20, 24 ). Филарет, митрополит Московский ( 114, 516–517 ). Как тело душою, так душа Духом Святым оживляется ( 104,619 ). Дух Святой через слово Божие действует в сердцах ( 104, 619 ). Дух Святой на сердцах верующих пишет закон ( 104, 619 ). Видишь, что когда огонь коснется ладана или какого другого благоуханного вещества, курится дым и восходит приятное благоухание, – так же бывает, когда сердца человеческого коснется благодать Святого Духа. Тогда восстанет в этом сердце воздыхание и истинная молитва, как благоухание, вызванное огнем, и восходит ввысь к Небесному Отцу, и обретает у Него благодать и милость. Это учит нас просить у Бога Духа Святого, чтобы он возбуждал в сердцах наших истинную молитву. Святитель Тихон Задонский ( 113, 405 ). Внимание и умиление признаются даром Святого Духа. Только Дух может остановить волны ума, разбегающиеся повсюду ( 108, 148 ). Явление духовной любви к ближнему – признак обновления души Святым Духом ( 108, 128 ). Что воздух для жизни тела, то Дух Святой для жизни души. Душа посредством молитвы дышит этим святым, таинственным воздухом ( 108, 141 ). Действие Святого Духа, от которого являются высокие молитвенные состояния, непостижимо для плотского ума ( 108, 150 ). Вход в Царство Небесное, которое Святым Крещением насаждено в сердце каждого христианина, есть развитие этого Царства действием Святого Духа ( 108, 154 ). Божественный и пренебесный Дух, сделавшись как бы душою человека, молится и плачет о нем... ( 108, 164 ). Руководителем христианина должен быть Дух Святой, как руководителем ветхого человека – плоть, кровь и дух лукавый ( 108, 501 ). Кто углубляется постоянно в Писание, изучает его в смирении духа, испрашивая у Бога разумения молитвой; кто направляет по евангельским заповедям все сокровенные движения души, тот непременно становится причастником живущего в них Святого Духа ( 109, 3 ).

In addition to their visit to New Valaam, Metropolitan Tikhon will celebrate the Divine Liturgy at the women’s Lintula Monastery of the Holy Trinity, where he and the OCA delegation will be welcomed by Abbess Mikaela and the sisterhood.  Liturgical celebrations and a presentation on the life of the OCA also will be held at Oulu’s Holy Trinity Cathedral, where the delegation will be hosted by His Eminence, Metropolitan Elia, a graduate of Saint Vladimir’s Seminary.  See related story . In Joensuu, the delegation will be welcomed at the Theological Department at the University of Eastern Finland by Prof. Matti Kotiranta, Department Head, and other university representatives and seminarians and at the city’s Saint Nicholas Church, while in Kuopio they will visit the Archdiocesan headquarters, the Church Museum and Saint Nicholas Cathedral.  Other planned visits include meetings with Lutheran Archbishop Kari Mäkinen and the Dean of the Lutheran Diocese of Oulu; with Anita Lehikoinen, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education and Culture, and Riitta Kaivosoja, Director General of the Ministry’s Department for Art and Cultural Policy; and with representatives of the Finnish Ecumenical Council. The Orthodox Church of Finland is an autonomous Church within the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.  According to the  Finnish Church’s web site , it was after Finland gained its independence as a consequence of the Russian Revolution that the Orthodox Church acquired the status of a national Church alongside Finland’s Lutheran Church.  In 1921, Saint Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow granted autonomy to the Finnish Church.  In view of the political turmoil in the Soviet Union and the difficulties of maintaining contacts, however, the Orthodox Synod of Finland applied to be accepted under the protection of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.  On July 6, 1923, the Ecumenical Patriarchate issued a Tomos recognizing the Finnish Church as an autonomous archbishopric.  Today, the Finnish Church consists of three dioceses with some 60,000 souls and remains one of two religious bodies legally recognized as a national church in Finland.  For many years, the Finnish Church has enjoyed a close relationship with the Orthodox Church in America, in part due to the fact that Saint Herman and his missionary companions came from the Valaam Monastery in Russian Karelia.  During World War II, the monastery was evacuated, with many monks relocating to Finnish Karelia, where they established the New Valaam Monastery.

One might wonder whether this concern for parachurch versus church isn " t consistent with a trajectory of scholarly studies that have examined a trend toward more traditional religiosity by many Americans, especially since the 1960s. 352 It has even been argued not only that conservative denominations were better at communicating what mattered religiously, but that the «demand» that conservative denominations placed on their adherents actually attracted members. 353 Not all have found this thesis convincing, however, and have offered counter-examples and explanations. 354 My findings here likewise question the thesis. Although the development of the EOC itself might be seen as lending support to that thesis, and one could argue that without such rigid conservativism, the former EOC members never would have become Orthodox, the full trajectory of the EOC-turned-Orthodox does not support it. The EOC " s entrance into Orthodoxy actually required a journey of becoming less sectarian, authoritarian, and morally rigid. During much of its existence, though, the EOC remained in tension between the poles of sectarianism and Orthodoxy. One clergyman of the EOC who was ready and willing to make the shift into the Orthodox Church well before Gillquist was Arnold Berstein who, in 1981, wanted to leave to join the Orthodox Church in America as a layman. 359 The EOC was not yet prepared for such a maneuver, as Gillquist wanted the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) to accept the EOC clergy as OCA clergy, as though being transferred from one Orthodox jurisdiction to another. Jon Braun believed having EOC clergy leave to become laymen would hurt the EOC " s standing. When it became clear to EOC leadership that they could not prevent Bernstein from leaving, Robert Guio, an EOC bishop, wrote to Bernstein, in which he enclosed a letter of apology that Bernstein was to sign and asked Bernstein to write the central leadership (Gillquist, Jon Braun, and Jack Sparks) an additional letter of apology.

With these words, our guest speaker Dr. Margaret Barker commenced the 29th annual Father Alexander Schmemann Memorial Lecture, transporting her audience into the liturgical world of the first Jewish Temple—a world remarkably familiar to Orthodox Christian worshipers. Her lecture was titled " Our Great High Priest: The Church as the New Temple. " The audience listened with intense interest as Dr. Barker described with vivid imagery the furnishings, appointments, and keepers of that temple—the anointing oil, cherubim, bread of the presence, seven-branched lampstand, Melchizedek priest-king, and so forth—as they were drawn deeper and deeper into its ancient liturgical life. As Dr. Barker focused on the structure of the first temple and on the figure of the high priest within that temple, she led her audience along " the trail that leads from Solomon " s Temple to the Christian Church, " her premise being that both the first temple and its high priest were restored by the coming of Jesus Christ. " The Christian community was the temple of the Messiah, " she noted, " the original temple restored, and it was a living temple. " Further on, she stated, " There is good evidence in the gospels that Jesus did see himself as the great high priest, and that his ministry was shaped by that ideal. " Upon her closing words, " Christians are the anointed ones of the restored temple, and our covenant is the eternal covenant entrusted to the ancient temple priesthood, renewed by our great High Priest [Jesus Christ], " the audience exploded with sustained applause in gratitude for her presentation. At the close of her talk, His Beatitude Metropolitan Jonah, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), presented Dr. Barker with a beautiful icon of " Christ the High Priest. " Other hierarchs in attendance at the lecture were His Grace The Right Rev. Benjamin, bishop of San Francisco and the West (OCA), and His Grace The Right Rev. Maxim, bishop of the Western Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church of North and South America.

protopresbyter Thomas Hopko Скачать epub pdf Volume III – Church History Introduction Volume 3 of The Orthodox Faith, entitled Church History, is a succinct overview of Christian history century by century. It presents the most important historical events, leading personalities, and significant doctrinal, liturgical, spiritual, and ecclesiastical developments in the Eastern Orthodox Church, giving the traditional Orthodox perspectives on the historical data. It also includes major events, personalities, and developments in the Christian West, both Roman Catholic and Reformed. The century by century format allows the reader to see what was happening at the same time in different places. The recent centuries that deal with Orthodoxy in North America, and especially with the pre-history and history of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), are treated at greater length because of their nearness to us in time and place, their complexity and importance, and the variety of interpretations that exist today about what occurred. As an OCA publication, this volume provides the OCA’s understanding and interpretation of the historical events. First Century Christ and the Apostles The first century of the Christian era begins with the birth of Jesus Christ from the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem. Christ lived, preached, did mighty acts, was crucified, rose again, and ascended into Heaven in the first several decades of the first century. After His Ascension into Heaven, God sent the Holy Spirit upon Christ’s disciples on the Feast of Pentecost (Acts 2), empowering them to take Christ’s Gospel to the ends of the known world. During His life on earth, Jesus selected disciples-first the Twelve ( Mt 10.2–4 ) and then the Seventy ( Lk 10.1 ). He trained them to be the leaders of His Church. After Pentecost, the Apostles preached the Gospel of Christ far and wide. We do not know exactly where all the Apostles traveled, but we know a good deal about the missionary journeys of Saint Paul, which are recorded in the Book of Acts (chs. 13–28). In his extensive travels Saint Paul founded many churches in Asia Minor and Greece. All the Twelve Apostles (including Saint Matthias, who took Judas’s place-Acts 1.15–26) except Saint John, as well as many of the Seventy, died as martyrs for their faith in Christ.
