Dinners for those in need organized in Grozny Orthodox Church Grozny, March 4, 2013 Poor residents of the town of Grozny, Chechnya will be given free dinners in the only Orthodox Church of this town, dedicated to Holy Archangel Michael, according to the " Tserkovny vestnik " . At the moment, about 100 parishioners are in particular need of help—these are mainly elderly people who survived the Chechen war, they are lonely and many of them don " t receive a pension because of bureaucratic problems with their documents. They have neither the desire nor possibility to leave their native town, but support from their Russian-language brethren is very important for them. Dinners have been arranged weekly, beginning from the feast of the Meeting of the Lord. At the first dinner more than 50 residents of Grozny gathered in the parish refectory which has been opened very recently on donors " funds; for them it was a real holiday. " For the most part, of course, they are pensioners, people from a nursing home, several children. Some of them could take part in a holiday party for the first time for many years, " said the Rector of the Church, Priest Gregory Kutsenko. " The main things our elderly parishioners here are suffering from are loneliness and lack of human sympathy. Even their hard economic conditions are not taken so dramatically by them. So we are now trying to arrange for them exchange of letters with volunteers. " Funds for food have been raised with help of young parishioners from Moscow parishes. The coordinator of this charitable action who herself is a native of Grozny, during her trips to Chechnya also brings Orthodox literature to her Church from Moscow for the local parish library: Gospels, prayer-books, educational booklets, fiction literature—several dozen book titles in all. Several years ago, the ruined St Michael " s Church in Grozny went through its rebirth. Now regular services are celebrated here. The Rector is doing his best so that the only Orthodox Church in Grozny should become the place where people always can find not only consolation and spiritual support but also get some material assistance.

Archimandrite Tikhon: “It is vile to be the accomplice of a terrorist” Moscow, August 27, 2012 The Secretary of the Patriarchal Cultural Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov), feels that the anticlerical acts of recent months in Russia are just a new manifestation of what he calls “velvet terrorism”, reports Interfax . “What we are up against today is an explosion of acts that are strange at first glance: the aggressive outrage of a punk group in Moscow churches, their filthy entertainment in a museum [these girls had sex in public in a museum, calling it “art”], the desecration of a place that is sacred to the entire Russian nation—theWorld War II veterans’ graves, and now the destruction of crosses—all of this is more than hooliganism, more than just banal anti-clerical acts, as people are wont to call it. This is a new reality of our life: ‘velvet terrorism’,” Fr. Tikhon said in an interview with an Interfax –Religion correspondent. In the archimandrite’s opinion, this terrorism, “like all terrorism”, is aimed at the destruction of the historical, spiritual, and moral foundations and standards of society and state—through sabotage, blackmail, and fear-mongering. “Essentially, Maria Alekhina, Ekaterina Samutsevich, and Nadezda Tolokonnikova are no different from the Muslim female suicide bombers who are carefully prepared and used by individuals behind the scenes. And it is bitter, but we have to admit that “velvet terrorism”, conducted with help from supporters both internally and externally, is gaining success in our country; and however rash many of its followers may be, they are quite dedicated to the idea,” said Fr. Tikhon. When asked what punishment he would propose for those who have sawn off crosses in Archangelsk and Chelyabinsk, Archimandrite Tikhon answered in the words of the Apostle Paul, that “God will not be mocked: as a person sews, so shall he reap.” In reality, he said, there is another more important question. “Now not only the inexperienced, naïve young people but even mature adults are easily becoming accomplices to these “velvet terrorists”, voluntarily or involuntarily. I would necessarily add here that no matter what excuses one may make to justify himself, it is very vile for a person to be, even unexpectedly, the accomplice of a terrorist.” 29 августа 2012 г. ...

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood supporters attack church, four dead March 30, 2014 Among other forms of " retaliatory terrorism, " some 80 Christian churches were attacked in Egypt immediately after the June 30 Revolution, which saw the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood president Morsi. And now that Egypt has sentenced to death hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters for the widespread terror they launched on the nation after the people " s revolution, the Brotherhood and its supporters are, once again, retaliating by attacking Coptic Christian minorities and their churches. Friday — the day when Muslims meet for prayers, the day when their imams incite attacks on churches and other forms of terrorism — in Ain Shams, a suburb of Cairo, " Muslim protesters attacked a Coptic Orthodox Christian church on March 28. Four people were killed in the attack on the church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Archangel Michael. Among the dead are a 25-year-old journalist and a Coptic Christian worshipper. When Egyptian security forces intervened, violence spread throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Muslim radicals are frequently whipped up into frenzy by their religious leaders on Fridays when they gather for prayer. " Among other things, the attackers set fire to parked cars and opened fire on the church itself. According to eyewitnesses, Sameh Merry, a Coptic Christian woman, was " murdered by Muslim protesters when they noticed that she had a small cross dangling from the rear-view mirror of her car. Other witnesses claim that she was killed because she was in possession of a firearm. Coptic Orthodox Bishop Raphael expressed condolences over the deaths. " It " s certainly plausible to believe this woman was specifically attacked because of her Christian cross. Anecdotes of Christians being targeted and mistreated because of the cross are many and across the entire Islamic world (see pgs. 84-94 of Crucified Again). Recent examples can be read here, here and here. 31 марта 2014 г. Смотри также Комментарии Мы в соцсетях Подпишитесь на нашу рассылку
