Eternal Memory

A famous Russian actor and musician Piotr Mamonov (wonderful spiritual film "The Island") died today. He has been at the ICU for the last 2 weeks with COVID-19. Thanks to God, even there he was able to take Holy Communion 2 days before his death.
May his memory be eternal! pic.twitter.com/qGJS2U1C7X

Weak Response, Weak Pastoral Advice?

St. Sophrony then goes on to quote the Sermon on the Mount to illustrate what “a life where first place is given to Christ” looks like. Particularly what caught my attention are Jesus’s words, “do not resist evil” or “an evil person.” What a radical response. You are slapped on the left cheek and what does Jesus tell you to do? Turn the other cheek. Jesus tells us to love our enemies. Jesus tells us to bless those who curse us and to pray for those who despitefully use us and persecute us.

Again, passivism as pacifism?

But if this world is not our home. If we are but salt and light, sojourners in a strange land, then we will adjust. We will find a way. We will carry on, looking for a City whose foundations and builder is God.

Eastern clericalism and gerondism leads to an other-worldly attitude masquerading as Christianity?

A Necessary Article?

What did the Greeks do to help Armenia? If Armenians are complaining about the Catholicos, maybe they should do something about their civilian leadership instead. Or are they incapable of republican self-rule? At any rate, how is this relevant to a website that is ostensibly about Orthodox Christianity?

The announcement of the Armenian Apostolic Church raised numerous questions, in which the primate of the Church thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin#orthodox_times
