Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich SERBIAN ORTHODOX APOSTLE TO AMERICA by Hieromonk Damascene . A A U S during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, Archimandrite B Sebastian Dabovich has the distinction of being the first person born in the United States of America to be ordained as an Orthodox priest, 1 and also the first native-born American to be tonsured as an Orthodox monk. His greatest distinction, however, lies in the tremen- dous apostolic, pastoral, and literary work that he accomplished dur- ing the forty-eight years of his priestly ministry. Known as the “Father of Serbian Orthodoxy in America,” 2 he was responsible for the found- ing of the first Serbian churches in the New World. This, however, was only one part of his life’s work, for he tirelessly and zealously sought to spread the Orthodox Faith to all peoples, wherever he was called. He was an Orthodox apostle of universal significance. Describing the vast scope of Fr. Sebastian’s missionary activity, Bishop Irinej (Dobrijevic) of Australia and New Zealand has written: 1 Alaskan-born priests were ordained before Fr. Sebastian, but this was when Alaska was still part of Russia. 2 Mirko Dobrijevic (later Irinej, Bishop of Australia and New Zealand), “The First American Serbian Apostle—Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich,” Again, vol. 16, no. 4 (December 1993), pp. 13–14.

  • The Serbian Orthodox Church and the New Serbian Identity
    Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AND THE NEW SERBIAN IDENTITY Belgrade, 2006 This Study is a part of a larger Project "Religion and Society," realized with the assistance of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Historical Confusion At the turn of the penultimate decade of the 20th century to the last, the world was shocked by the (out-of-court) pronouncement of the death verdict for an artist, that is, an author by the leader of a theocratic regime, on the grounds that his book insulted one religion or, to be more exact, Islam and all Muslims. Naturally, it is the question of the famous Rushdie affair. According to the leader of the Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, the novel “Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie was blasphemous and the author deserved to be sentenced to death by a fatwa. This case - which has not been closed to this day - demonstrated in a radical way the seriousness and complexity of the challenge which is posed by the living political force of religious fundamentalism(s) to the global aspirations of the concept of liberal capitalist democracy, whose basic postulates are a secular state and secular society. The fall of the Berlin Wall that same year (1989) marked symbolically the end of an era in the international relations and the collapse of an ideological- political project. In other words, the circumstances that had a decisive influence on the formation of the Yugoslav and Serbian society in the post- World War II period were pushed into history. Time has told that the mentioned changes caused a tragic historical confusion in Yugoslavia and in Serbia, primarily due to the unreadiness of the Yugoslav and, in particular, Serbian elites to understand and adequately respond to the challenges of the new era.

  • The Self-Sacrifice of Biljana Plavšić
    The Self-Sacrifice of Biljana Plavšić: Gender and Nationalism in the Bosnian Serb Media By Predrag Babić Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Elissa Helms CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 CEU eTD Collection Abstract In my MA thesis, I argue that the relation of femininity and ethnicity in Bosnian Serb politics can be defined through the nationalist concept of self-sacrifice or martyrdom. The case study for that topic is Biljana Plavsic, the former President of Republika Srpska (RS), the Serb entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although it can be argued that Biljana Plavsic represents an outlier, I claim that she is marked as an example of the continuation of the tradition of self-sacrifice in Serbian national myth. In Serbian folk tradition, love is a familiar trope that motivates women to sacrifice themselves for their brother or children. Following that, Plavsic sacrifices herself for her children – i.e. the Bosnian Serb population. This matches with one of the supposed roles of women in nationalism – to embody the nation and its tradition. Self-sacrifice is not only a political choice but also, and much more importantly, an essence of femininity and ethnicity in the tragic Serb history. In developing such a discourse important role have most prominent press in RS (Glas Srpske and Nezavisne Novine), public television broadcast (RTRS) and Plavsic herself through her autobiographical book Svedocim (“I am witnessing”). Biljana Plavšić's self-representation and the media representation of her from 2009 in RS will be the case study of my research and the point is to CEU eTD Collection see how the link between gender, religion and nation is formed by a focus on the concept of self-sacrifice.
