Michael Prokurat, Alexander Golitzin, Michael D. Peterson Скачать epub pdf NIKON (MININ) NIKON (MININ), Patriarch of Moscow, liturgical reformer (1605–1681 ). After a monastic education and life, he became abbot of the Koyozerski Monastery (1642), archimandrite of the Novospaski Monastery in Moscow (1646), Metropolitan of Novgorod (1649), and Patriarch of Moscow (1652) by order of Tsar Alexis, over whom Nikon had great influence in his early episcopal years. As patriarch, Nikon immediately initiated liturgical reforms that resulted in the Old Believer (q.v.) schism for which he was famous-or infamous. Initially Nikon’s program was rigorously enforced by civil authorities. But as early as 1653, other respected clerics (Neronov, Avvakum, etc.) who supported an awakening of faith in the Russian Church accused Nikon of heresy (q.v.). The prospect that Church and state had erred in their overly zealous reform policy-which they well did-called into question the whole premise of an infallible symphony of “God-appointed” institutions that comprised “Holy Russia.” Scholars inside and outside of Russia continue to debate the “rightness” of Nikon’s reforms (especially Makarii Bulgakov [q.v.], and recently Paul Meyendorff), in the last centuries with more objectivity when the political question of the Old Believers became less pressing. In 1658 Nikon himself rendered the “symphony” of Church and state a cacophony. He not only claimed complete independence in ecclesiastical matters, having been given the title “Great Sovereign” by the tsar, but also claimed primacy over the tsar-an attitude that caused him to fall into disfavor. It should be observed that Nikon asserted himself in direct imitation of the Roman papacy (q.v.), and that this prerogative was not in keeping with Orthodox tradition. As a result, he resigned the patriarchate (q.v.) and retired to a monastery, but then attempted to regain his office. Due to this attempt he was deposed and banished by the Councils of Moscow (1666–67), though his reforms were accepted and remained. After suffering fourteen years in a distant monastery, he was recalled by Tsar Theodore II, but died on returning and was posthumously reinstated and buried with honors. He has been recognized as “perhaps the greatest bishop of the Russian Church” (Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, page 976) by very few in the Orthodox world since the time of William Palmer.

The early church described another type of baptism when the catechumens were persecuted and suffered martyrdom in the name of Christ before their formal initia­tion. Those martyrs were said to have been admitted to Paradise by the baptism of blood. In the early Christian centuries most Christian catechumens were baptized in their adulthood. In the 4th century the fathers (such as St. Gregory the Theologian preaching Orations on the Lights in Con­stantinople in 380) had to encourage people not to leave their baptism until their death­beds. Nevertheless, the baptism of infants was justified by all the early fathers. In 253 the Council of Carthage made it a recommended practice of the church. Bap­tism is never repeated. If a convert wishes to enter the Orthodox Church from another Christian communion it is the majority practice of the Greek and Russian traditions to chrismate a believer who has already been baptized by threefold washing in the name of the Trinity. If there is doubt over the form of liturgy that had been used, or if the convert is coming from no church back­ground, the full service of baptism is always performed.

214 Согласно краткому рассказу Книги Деяний, в котором, без сомнения, опущена полная дискуссия по вопросу о соблюдении Закона христианами из язычников. Герменевтический вопрос неоднократно поднимается в четвертом Евангелии, где часто обсуждается правильное понимание Христа и Его служения (например, Ин. 6:44–45, 7:16–17, 12:37–40, 16:12–15 ). Интересно, что декларативный характер божественного откровения в четвертом Евангелии сопровождается ссылками на роль Святого Духа как направляющей силы в герменевтическом процессе ( Ин. 6:63, 7:39, 14:16–17, 26, 16:13 ): и откровение, и Святой Дух равным образом в нем участвуют, что выражает герменевтическую позицию Иоанновой общины. 215 О святоотеческих взглядах на Писание и их экзегетической методологии см. главу 4 и библиографию там же. 217 Иустин стремился сохранить авторитет Ветхого Завета как христианской книги, в то же время частично релятивизировав его признанием, что ритуальная часть Закона имеет временный характер и не относится к христианам. Иустин открыто выразил то, на что намекал ( Гал. 3 ) апостол Павел. Об этом см.: Hans von Campenhausen, The Formation of the Christian Bible, trans. J.A.Baker (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1972). pp.88–102; Theodore Stylianopoulos, Justin Martyr and the Mosaic Law (Missoula: Society of Biblical Literature, 1975), pp.51–68, 153–163. 218 См.

Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Zakka Iwas dead at 80/Православие.Ru Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Zakka Iwas dead at 80 Damascus, Syria, March 24, 2014      The Patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church Ignatius Zakka Iwas, the leader of one of world " s oldest Christian sects, has died.

Iwas " official title was the Patriarch of Antioch and All the East. His church, known as the Syrian Orthodox Church, was founded in the year 452 after a schism with the bulk of the world " s Christians. There are more than 4 million members, living in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq although there are also significant communities in Germany, Sweden and in the United States, where immigrants from the Near East introduced the faith in the late 19th century.

Archive Statement of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia 6 July 2020 year 10:45 The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church expressed his deep concern over the calls voiced by a number of the Turkish politicians for the change in the current status of Hagia Sophia, one of the greatest masterpieces of Christian culture. I am deeply concerned over the calls of certain Turkish politicians to reconsider the museum status of Hagia Sophia, one of the greatest monuments of Christian culture. Built in the 6 th century in honour of Christ the Saviour, this church is of great importance to the whole Orthodoxy. And it is especially dear to the Russian Church. Prince Vladimir’s envoys stepped across the threshold of this church and were captivated by its heavenly beauty. Having heard their story, St. Vladimir received baptism and baptised Rus’, which followed him into a new spiritual and historical dimension – Christian civilisation. Many generations conveyed to us admiration for achievements of this civilisation, with us now being its part. And Hagia Sophia has always been one of its devoutly venerated symbols. The image of this church has become deeply ingrained in our culture and history, having given strength and inspiration to our architects of the past in Kiev, Novgorod, Polotsk – in all the major centres of the spiritual formation of Early Rus’.. There were different, sometimes rather difficult periods in the history of relations between Rus’ and Constantinople.. Yet, with bitterness and indignation the Russian people responded in the past and respond now to any attempt to degrade or trample upon the millennium-old spiritual heritage of the Church of Constantinople. A threat to Hagia Sophia is a threat to the entire Christian civilisation and, therefore, to our spirituality and history. To this day Hagia Sophia remains a great Christian shrine for every Russian Orthodox believer. It is a duty of every civilised state to maintain balance: to reconcile the society, and not aggravate discords in it; to help unite people, and not divide them. Today the relationships between Turkey and Russia are developing dynamically. At the same time, one should take into account that Russia is a country with the majority of population professing Orthodoxy, and so, what may happen to Hagia Sophia will inflict great pain on the Russian people. I hope for the prudence of Turkey’s state leadership. Preservation of the current neutral status of Hagia Sophia, one of the greatest masterpieces of Christian culture and a church–symbol for millions of Christians all over the world, will facilitate further development of the relations between the peoples of Russia and Turkey and help strengthen interfaith peace and accord. +KIRILL, PATRIARCH OF MOSCOW AND ALL RUSSIA   Календарь ← 7 December 2023 year

The St. Sofia Basilica is also famous for hosting the Early Christian Council of Serdica, probably held in 343 AD, and attended by 316 bishops. During the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396 AD), it gained the status of a metropolitan church, and in the 14th century it gave its name to the city which had been known by its Slavic-Bulgarian name of Sredets. In the 16th century, after Bulgaria’s conquest by the Ottoman Turks, the St. Sofia Basilica was turned into a mosque with the destruction of the 12thcentury murals and the addition of minarets. However, two earthquakes destroyed one of the minarets in the 19th century, and the mosque was abandoned. It has been restored since 1900. In 2013, the ancient necropolis and tombs underneath the St. Sofia Basilica, some of which have murals, were turned into an underground museum open for visitors. 14 октября 2015 г.
