Source: Pravmir (Russian) How should education be organized according to the Russian Ministry of Education? Photo: nakhodka-city.ru The Ministry of Education provided recommendations for schools for organizing the educational process during the pandemic. Mel published the link to the document . It explains in detail how distance learning should be organized and also suggests using hybrid formats, according to which a teacher or some students will not be inside the school. 1. How many lessons will there be per day and per week? A teacher must determine how many lessons per week will be conducted in the electronic format asynchronously (without direct interaction between a teacher and students on a real-time basis), and how many lessons will be conducted in the distance learning format. The optimal number is 2-4 lessons. The number of distance learning lessons for first graders should not exceed four lessons per day, it should not be more than five lessons for 2 nd -4 th grades, six lessons for 5 th -6 th grades, and seven lessons for 7 th -11 th grades. In addition to these lessons, all students should have a physical education lesson on one of the days of the week. 2. What lessons should be taught online? Lessons with a high difficulty level should be conducted in the distance learning format. They are recommended to be held as short video conferences. 3. What time will the “recess bell” be? When scheduling online lessons, teachers are advised to keep in mind that there may be children from different grades in one family and to start lessons for different lessons at different times. 4. The duration of a lesson The duration of a lesson can be 40-45 minutes, but the time that students spend in front of the computer screen should not exceed the sanitary rules and norms. For the rest of the lesson, a teacher can suggest doing independent work with the textbook, completing tasks in a notebook. 1 st -2 nd graders should not spend more than 20 minutes at the computer, 3 rd -4 th graders – more than 25 minutes, 5 th -6 th graders – more than 30 minutes, 7 th -11 th graders – more than 35 minutes. It is recommended to conduct physical activity breaks and do eye gymnastics during lessons. |
| Serbian Patriarch Irinej Invites All To Edict Of Milan Celebrations Belgrade, October 3, 2013 Serbian Patriarch Irinej invited on Thursday all believers and people of goodwill to join in the final part of the marking of a great historic event – 1700 anniversary of the Edict of Milan, as the closing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Nis on Sunday, when heads of Orthodox Churches of other countries will hold a liturgy. Patriarch Irinej “A great privilege has been bestowed upon our Church that the central ceremony of the entire Christianity be in our city, Nis, because Emperor Constantine was born in it,” Patriarch Irinej told Tanjug ahead of the gathering that the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) qualified as the greatest in its history. The Edict that Emperor Constantine issued gave the Christianity the freedom or right to freely preach, Patriarch Irinej said. This great event was a turning point in the history of mankind, as the European culture based on the truths of Christianity developed on its foundations, the Patriarch said. Patriarch Irinej announced that representatives of all Orthodox Churches, other Christian Churches and communities, and culture officials from the entire Christian world will gather on that occasion. Bishop of Backa Irinej, a spokesman for the SPC, announced that two holy objects will be on display at the Cathedral of St. Emperor Constantine and Empress Helena in Nis – a part of the holy cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified and a hand of St. John The Baptist. According to the schedule that was published by the SPC, a ceremonial welcome will be organized at St. Archangel Michael’s Cathedral in Belgrade on Saturday for high priests, among which Patriarch Bartholomew I, the Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’, and Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem are expected.

| — The Holy and Great Council is a Council of the whole Orthodox Church, and therefore I would not say that its significance is any different for the Russian Church than for the other Local Churches. First of all, the fact that it is being held is an confirmation of our ecclesiology, it bears witness to us and the whole world that the Orthodox Church is a Catholic Church, that the principle of conciliarity that has always been her distinguishing feature is not an inheritance of the past, but a reality for our time. The Pan-Orthodox Council is also a visible expression of the unity of our Church, testimony that, in spite of the different political conditions in which the Local Churches live, we are capable of achieving unanimity on the issues that are most important to us, since together we comprise the one Church. I believe it to be exceptionally important that the outward image of the Church serves these aims so that it becomes an exact reflection of the Orthodox ecclesiology by which all the Orthodox Churches, independent of their how ancient their origins or number of the faithful, are equal members of the body of the Universal Church. — What do you anticipate to come out of the Synod that concerns the Orthodox faithful of the 21st century? — As is well known, the Holy and Great Council, according to its schedule, will not examine any other topics other than those that have been put on the agenda and the already published six drafts of the conciliar documents. The sole exception is the Encyclical of the Council, the draft of which still has to be finalized. If we look at the documents on the agenda, then the most relevant, in my opinion, is the draft document entitled ‘The Mission of the Orthodox Church in the Contemporary World’. It gives the Church’s view on the many challenges of the modern-day world, the problems of the economic crisis, on what the Church thinks of the problem of discrimination and military conflicts. Many of these problems in their present form arose in our time and are to one degree or another relevant for Orthodox Christians of both East and West. At the same time, this is one of the documents which has attracted criticism within a number of the Local Churches. |

| Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said the issue of all Orthodox Churches transitioning to a unified calendar will not be on the agenda of the Pan-Orthodox Council scheduled to be held in June. " It is very important that the calendar issue has been removed from the issues addressed by the Council. It concerned our believers greatly because false rumors were spread that everyone will be required to go over to the new style, " Patriarch Kirill told reporters following a visit to Chambesy, Switzerland, where the heads of the Orthodox Churches met to discuss preparations for the Pan-Orthodox Council. The patriarch recalled that many Churches follow the Julian calendar while some follow the Gregorian, " and so as to allow every Church to follow its own adopted calendar it was decided that the calendar issue will not be addressed by the c ouncil. " The patriarch also said all documents approved by the heads of the Orthodox churches and which will be addressed by the council will be published in the very near future. " Our Church insisted that there should be no block on these documents, but that people should be able to become familiar with them because many critical views on the upcoming council have been formed due to the absence of information. People didn " t know anything about the council, " he said. The patriarch also said he expects " a good document on the mission of Orthodox faith in the modern world, " and also a document on marriage, family and obstacles to marriage. Responding to a question as to what he expects from the upcoming council, the patriarch said: " Even more consolidation of the Orthodox world. I know that the council will not address the Ukrainian issue, it will not address the possibility of granting autocephaly [to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate] or legalization of the schism, and that has been publicly confirmed by Patriarch [of Constantinople] Bartholomew.

| Keep It Up to Date As I reviewed parish web sites for this article I quickly found:. Welcome to __(name with held)_____ Orthodox Church Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Merry Christmas! We would like to welcome our Internet guests and wish you and your families a most blessed Nativity and New Year! Unfortunately it was late March. To avoid this many sites publish only general info. (“Sunday Liturgy 9:30 AM; Vespers 7:00 PM”) Parish website building toolkits provide the ability to this week’s schedule. Work to present accurate, timely current info. Travelers appreciate it. Tell Your Parish Story Your site should sell (aka “present persuasively and with zeal”) your parish community. You are the Orthodox Church in your county, city, town, neighborhood, block – perhaps the entire state. Explain how your parish delivers the Orthodox faith. Help people who are seeking God to understand how your parish can help them to encounter the living God. They can find Orthodox doctrine many places on the web. Explain how your community lives the Orthodox. Yes I know you’re not perfect. Avoid the tendency to wait until we’re a better icon of the Church. Tell your story now! Use Photos! Lots of Them! Of People! Particularly Children! People are attracted to churches for a vast array of reasons. Certainly one of the important ones is the opportunity to interact with people in a loving way. My guess is that the interest in human interaction is more important than say their interest in your building. Pictures of your temple –big or small, beautiful or basic, outside and inside are fine. But for every picture of buildings and iconography please show a picture of parish life. Worship. Fellowship. Discipleship. Stewardship.Education. In looking at parish websites photos, when they existed, were often stuffed in a corner called “Photos”. Aggregating photos is fine. I suspect that inquirers may gravitate to that page. But also integrate those photos with the site. Use them to illustrate a parish that radiates the light of Christ. |
| Сокрушение сердца 3 . Taken from Meffreth, ibid. 11. 1–6 cf Meffreth: «Erat quidam iuuenis in studio, qui suggerente generis humani inim ico, talia quaedam peccata commiserat, quae obstante erubescentia nulli hominum confiteri poterat.» 11. 11–24 cf Meffreth: «Cogitans tamen, quae tormenta gehennae malis sint praeparata, & quae bonis abscondita sint gaudia, perennis vitae, timens etiam quotidie iudicium Dei super se, intus torquebatur ex remorsu conscientiae, & foris tabescebat in corpore. Quid plura? tandem miserante domino in adolescente timor ille seruilis verecundiam vicit, & charitatem in corde & anim o eius introduxit: veniensque ad sanctum Victorem, Priorem eiusdem conuentus vocauit. & quia confitendi gratia aduenisset, indicauit.» 11. 25–8 cf Meffreth: «Mira res; tantam in hora ilia pius Dominus cordi eius contulit contritionem, vt quotiens confessionem inciperet, totiens singultibus intercepta vox deficeret, in oculis lacrymae, suspiria in pectore, singultus erant in gutture.» 11. 29–41 cf Meffreth: «Haec vt Prior vidit, dicebat scholari: Vade; scribe peccata tua in schedula, deferque ad me. Consilium placuit iuueni: abijt, & scripsit: die altera redijt, & si posset confiteri iterum tentans, vt prius defecit: & cum nihil proficeret, schedulam Priori porrexit. Legit Prior: & obstupuit, dixitque iuueni: Non sufficio tibi consilium solus dare. Vis, ostendam Abbati? Et licentiauit eum.» Simeon does not say that Victor actually read the youth " s written confession. 11. 42–6 cf Meffreth: «Venit itaque Prior ad Abbatem, & porrexit schedulam ad legendum, rem ei per ordinem exponens. Quid deinde gestum sit, audiant peccatores & consolentur desperati. Mox vt Abbas chartulam ad legendum aperuit totam eius scripturam dele tarn inuuenit... Et ait Abbas Priori: Quid legam in schedula ista? nihil in ea scriptum est.» 11. 47–50 this part of the dialogue is Simeon " s invention. 11. 51–6 cf Meffreth: «Haec vt Prior audiuit, schedulam simul cum Abbate inspexit. dixitque ad ilium: Sciat pro certo patem itas vestra, supradictum iuuenem in hac schedula scripsisse peccata sua, & cum a me fuissent lecta, vobis etiam donaui legenda.» 11. 59–80 cf Meffreth: «Sed video, quod misericors Deus, qui maximam iuuenis contritionem attendit, culpam iam sufficienter punitam, iuste deleuit... & aduocantes scholarem ostenderunt schedulam, dicentes, eius peccata diuinitus esse deleta. Quam cum perspexisset, & ex signis plenius cognouisset, in tantum cor eius magnitudine gaudij est dilatatum, in quantum ex magnitudine peccati fuerat angustiatum: & nullam iniungentes satisfactionem, monuerunt, quatenus Deo de acceptis beneficijs gratias ageret, atque de caetera cautius cauerel. Ecce quod contritio cum voluntate confitendi delet peccata, vt declarauit Magister» (Pars hyem., p. 102). |
| Показательно, что для Исидора все его источники равноправны. Таким образом, он пытается примирить античную и христианскую мысль, показывая, что между ними нет принципиальных культурных различий (по крайней мере в том, что касается грамматики). Этой же цели подчинена и двучастная структура «Дифференций», восходящих от лексического справочника к пособию по богословию. Та же идея – продвижение от светских наук к постижению духовных – прослеживается и в «Синонимах». 4.2. Теологические трактаты: «Синонимы, или Стенания грешной души» и «Сентенции» в трех книгах Исидор написал книгу «Синонимов» уже будучи епископом Севильи, но не ранее 631 г. Эту датировку легко установить по его письму Браулиону, которое он отправил ему вместе с готовым произведением. Письмо адресовано архидьякону Браулиону, а поскольку известно, что епископом он стал в 631 г., то «Синонимы» не могли быть написаны позднее этой даты. 389 По свидетельству того же Браулиона, «Синонимы» были созданы для утешения души и для того, чтобы поддерживать в человеке надежду на прощение его грехов. 390 Интересна история создания этого произведения. В прологе, обращаясь к читателю, Исидор признался, что поводом для написания послужило случайно попавшее к нему в руки небольшое произведение (букв, «листочек»: schedula), также озаглавленное Synonyma. 391 Исследователи полагают, что Исидор имел в виду Synonyma Ciceronis. 392 «Синонимы Цицерона» были созданы в позднеантичную или раннесредневековую эпоху в качестве учебного пособия по грамматике. Римскому оратору они приписывались потому, что в рукописи основной текст предварялся письмом (также подложным) Цицерона к некоему Ветерию. «Синонимы Цицерона» сохранились во многих редакциях, самой полной из которых считается та, что начинается со слов accusit, lacescit. Она содержит приблизительно 250 синонимических рядов. 393 Они расположены в алфавитном порядке, каждый ряд включает в себя от двух до семи понятий, различие между которыми не уточняется. 394 К сожалению, основанием для отождествления schedula, найденной Исидором в своей библиотеке, и «Синонимов Цицерона» служит только общее название. Сам текст предисловия не дает на то больше никаких оснований. При этом остается неясным, что же в сухом грамматическом справочнике могло так потрясти епископа Севильи, что заставило его создать нечто подобное на благо обездоленных (miseris condere)? 395 Этот вопрос остается нерешенным. В частности, французский исследователь Ж. Фонтен находил «Синонимы» весьма похожими на пособие по риторике. 396 Отчасти это действительно так, ведь Исидор описывает состояние скорби души, используя ряд синонимичных конструкций; аналогичным образом он дает советы и от лица разума. 397 |
| Archive The Church of the Georgian Diaspora in Moscow Scheduled for Restoration 4 February 2021 year 17:49 On 3rd February 2021 the bishop of Naro-Fominsk Paramonus (Golubka), the head of the directorate for finance and logistics of the Russian Orthodox Church, chaired a meeting to discuss issues concerning the restoration of the Church of the Great Martyr George ‘v Gruzinakh’, which the Georgian Orthodox diaspora in Moscow attends for spiritual sustenance and guidance. Participating in the meeting were the deputy chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate archpriest Nikolai Balashov, the rector of the Church of the Holy Martyr George archpriest Feodor Krechetov, the secretary of the DECR for inter-Orthodox relations archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, the spiritual counsellor of the Georgian diaspora in Moscow and cleric of the Georgian Orthodox Church archpriest Kakhaber Gogotishvili, the advisor to the department for the cultural heritage of the city of Moscow and interaction with religious organizations I. N. Kamenskikh, the deputy director of the non- commercial unified service of the Moscow Patriarchy in its capacity as commissioner priest Mikhail Titov and the head of the department for restoration and repairs under the directorate for finance and logistics of the Russian Orthodox Church Ye. G. Inasaridze. For a long time the church building was occupied by the Krasin State College for Technology, Economics and Law. During this period windows were put in the supporting walls of the church building and additional architectural elements were added in between the floors. No repair work has been carried out for several decades. Construction engineers have at present judged the state of the building to be “unsatisfactory and in places in danger of collapse.” In 2014 the church was transferred to the parish as its own property by order of the Moscow city government. The church has the status of Patriarchal Metochion. DECR Communication Service /Patriarchia.ru Календарь ← 7 December 2023 year |
