An Orthodox balm for Europe. Orthodox Christians can help rebuild East-West ties. For decades, many social scientists had pretty much two things to say about Eastern Orthodox Christianity: 1) that like all religions, it was disappearing with the advance of modern civilization; 2) that it derived most of its support from the reactionary tides of authoritarianism and nationalism. Kazan, Russia – For decades, many social scientists had pretty much two things to say about Eastern Orthodox Christianity: 1) that like all religions, it was disappearing with the advance of modern civilization; 2) that it derived most of its support from the reactionary tides of authoritarianism and nationalism. Those pronouncements are being proved wrong. Today, as in the parable of the prodigal son, throughout Eastern Europe people are returning to the Orthodox Church in droves, and the effect in the public sphere, contrary to most expectations, is quite benign. Though historically viewed with suspicion by Catholic and Protestant Europe, Orthodox Christianity can actually help bridge the Russia-West gap. At the heart of much of the miscommunication between Russia and Europe today lies the unacknowledged and untapped longing of Orthodox Christians to be recognized as part of a common European cultural family again. The latest effort to bridge this divide was Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II’s remarks in France, where he spoke poignantly of how the Christian identity Europeans historically share should promote dialogue on issues like human rights and peace, even with atheists and members of other faiths. The patriarch was pointing out that, while they may differ on specific political issues today, a profound religious bond actually underpins Western and Eastern European cultural and political values. Sadly, this common bond is rarely mentioned, in either Russia or the West. Today’s Slavophile Russian nationalists seem uncomfortable recalling that, despite his uncompromising critique of Western secularism, their avatar Fyodor Dostoyevsky always regarded

See, now, the exhaustive discussion by F. Richard Stephenson in Historical Eclipses and Earth’s Rotation (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997). 551 agree. Jean Meeus & Hermann Mucke, for example, in their Canon of Lunar Eclipses – 2002 to + 2526 (Wien: Astronomisches Biiro, 1979), page XII, explain that Oppolzer’s monumental work “is accurate enough for historical research.” This, of course, refers to ancient lunar eclipses, not ancient solar eclipses, on which the Canon is far from correct. See, for instance, the comments by Willy Hartner in Centaurus, Vol. 14 (1969), p. 65.

Matushka Juliana Schmemann, 93, wife of the late Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann, lifelong educator in New York girls’ schools and former headmistress of the Spence School, fell asleep in the Lord at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, where she had been in residence since the fall of 2016, on Sunday evening, January 29, 2017. Matushka Juliana was born to a family of White Russian émigrés and was raised and educated in France.  In 1951, she and Father Alexander moved to New York, where she began a long teaching career at the Chapin School, the Spence School and the Brearley School. In 1977, she was appointed headmistress of Spence, on East 91st Street.  A serious illness compelled her to resign in 1981, but once recovered, she joined the faculty of Brearley, where she remained until her retirement.  She is warmly remembered by many generations of women whom she taught French and Russian, and to whom she was always “Madame Schmemann.”  The French government awarded her the Palme d’Argent medal for service to French culture. Matushka Juliana was born on October 6, 1923, in Baden-Baden, Germany, where her family, the Ossorguines, found themselves after the Russian revolution.  Her son, Serge Schmemann, a member of the New York Times editorial board and for many years a Times foreign correspondent, wrote a book, “Echoes of a Native Land,” tracing 200 years of Russian history through the former estate of the Ossorguines south of Moscow.  Her family soon moved to Paris, where she attended the College Sainte Marie de Neuilly outside Paris and the University of Paris-Sorbonne, where she earned a licence ès lettres degree in classics.  In 1943, she married Alexander Schmemann, a priest and widely acclaimed theologian who became Dean of Saint Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, Yonkers, N.Y, and played an instrumental role in founding the Orthodox Church in America.  Father Alexander fell asleep in the Lord in 1983. In retirement, Matushka Juliana was active in Church affairs and wrote two books, “My Journey With Father Alexander” and “The Joy to Serve,” which discussed the challenges of being an Orthodox Christian in the modern world.  She travelled all over the country lecturing to women’s groups.
