A New Chapter in the History of Our Church

A talk with the official representative of the American Orthodox Church in Moscow, Archimandrite Zacchaeus Wood

Interview with Archimandrite Zacchaeus Wood

Since Metropolitan Jonah lived here in Russia, I think that his love for the Russian Church will be entirely natural and sincere, and this is very important. We always remember that we received autocephaly from the Russian Orthodox Church, and the relationship between our churches for all of us is vital.

Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God

The histories of Moscow and of the icon of Vladimir Mother of God are eternally inseparable. How many times did the Mother of God save the capital city from enemies through the grace of her holy icon? This icon has linked Apostolic times to Byzantium, Kievan Rus’ to Vladimir Rus’, and later to Muscovy, the Third Rome; as it is said, “there will be no Fourth.” The kingdom of Moscow was formed by divine providence and embraced the mystical ties of ancient empires, historical experience and traditions of other Orthodox peoples. The miracle working Vladimir icon became a symbol of unity and succession.

Interview of Archimandrite Tikhon to «NEO magazine»

Russian Greek-Orthodox Archimandrite Tikhon studied film production before entering the clergy, and when his first work as a director and narrator was released earlier this year in “The fall of an Empire – The Lesson of Byzantium” documentary, it created an uproar! The film deals with the Empire’s degradation and how it lost its “ability to respond to the calls of history.” A Greek version has already been released and an English version is underway.

World - Dialogues of Truth. Great Anthony and contemporary ecumenism

Protopresbyter Theodore Zisis

It is truly dreadful the vision that Saint Anthony had regarding the presence of the heretics inside Orthodox churches. This vision illustrates and explains graphically the reasons why the Holy Fathers forbid with Synodal canons the entry of the heretics into consecrated places, their participation in services and liturgies, with common prayers and common worshipping.

Ο ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΣ ΚΑΙ Ο ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΟΙΚΟΥΜΕΝΙΣΜΟΣ

Πρωτοπρεσβύτερος Θεόδωρος Ζήσης Καθηγητής Θεολογικής Σχολής Α.Π.Θ.

Στο τελευταίο μας άρθρο με τίτλο «Μακράν της οδού των Αγίων Πατέρων η συνάντηση Βαρθολομαίου και πάπα» είχαμε εξαγγείλει ότι θα συνεχίζαμε την έκθεση των εκτιμήσεών μας με βάση τη διαχρονική συνείδηση της Εκκλησίας, όπως αυτή εκφράζεται μέσα στους βίους των Αγίων Πατέρων και διδασκάλων. Επειδή μάλιστα ο Άγιος Σπυρίδων, ο θαυματουργός πολιούχος της Κέρκυρας, έδιωξε τον πάπα μέσα από τον ναό του με ένα εντυπωσιακό θαύμα που έκανε, ενώ οι σημερινοί προκαθήμενοι, τον εισάγουν στους ορθόδοξους ναούς, τον ασπάζονται, τον θυμιάζουν και τον πολυχρονίζουν, σχεδιάσαμε να παρουσιάσουμε αυτό το θαύμα, όπως το διασώζει και το σχολιάζει ο Άγιος Αθανάσιος ο Πάριος, μεγάλος λόγιος και διδάσκαλος του Γένους και μέλος της τριάδος των Αγίων Κολλυβάδων του 18ου αιώνος. Ο σχεδιασμός αυτός και η προτεραιότητα παραμένει, με μία μικρή χρονική παρέκκλιση, λόγω της εορτολογικής συγκυρίας.

A Byzantine Warning.On the new documentary film, The Fall of an Empire—the Lesson of Byzantium

Anna Prokrovskaya

Rarely does a documentary film about Medieval history evoke such heated discussion and growing polemic in society as did the film, The Fall of an Empire—the Lesson of Byzantium, the latest work by Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov), the Superior of Moscow’s Sretensky Monastery.

Russian Church unity one year on: expectations, impressions, thoughts

Archpriest Andrew Phillips

We should in no wise think that this mutual act of unity came from us. It did not. It was and is a miracle of the saints. It came from the New Martyrs and Confessors, it came from St Tikhon of Moscow and from St John of Shanghai. It came from holy elders inside Russia and it came from holy elders in the emigration.

“The Main Thing Occurring in the Country Today is the Choice of its Path.”

Interview with Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

No recent documentary film can boast of such a response among Russian viewers as the film by Archimandrite Tikhon, The Fall of an Empire—The Lesson of Byzantium. Some learned much that they did not know before, and drew conclusions from the history of Byzantium for their own lives. Some cast doubt upon Fr. Tikhon’s right to “teach” from the screen. But nearly no one who watched the “Lesson...” yawned and looked off to the side.

“The Glory Of High Decani”

A documentary about one of the last remaining spiritual centers of Orthodox faith in Kosovo today – the monastery of High Decani. This film is also a testimony that true spiritual life is ultimate diplomacy given our innate ability to forgive, show compassion, and love one another.

Fr. Artemy Vladimirov “Friends, beautiful is our unity”

Interview by Nun Cornelia (Rees)

For example, when people ask me, “What do you have to say about the ideological leanings and impaired world-view of this or that ecclesiastical individual?” I always answer, “We receive those who are infirm in the faith without arguments about opinions. The opportunity to manifest our expression of brotherly love in Christ Our Saviour is so meaningful, that only after this can we cross spears in ideological discourse.” Sometimes it seems that the faultiness of a world-view can in no way be equaled to the individual himself, who has received the gift of the Holy Spirit in the bosom of Ecumenical Orthodoxy.

The Emigration of Faith

An Intevrview with Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

It is symbolic that Vladyka Laurus died on the first Sunday of Great Lent, the feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy. His spiritual and historic role in the life of the Church served exactly that—the triumph of Orthodoxy. The Prior of Moscow’s Sretensky Monastery, Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov) talks with Russkaya Gazeta about Metropolitan Laurus’ role in the unification of the Churches.
