SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH September 21, 2014 SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH september 21, 2014 the sunday after the exaltation of the precious Cross Saint Quadratus, Apostle of the Seventy preached the Word of God at Athens and at Magnesia (eastern peninsula of Thessaly), and was Bishop of Athens. His biographer called him “a morn- ing star” among the clouds of paganism. He converted many pagans to the true faith in Christ the Savior, and his preaching aroused the hatred of the pagans. Once, an angry mob fell upon the saint to pelt him with stones. Preserved by God, St Quadratus remained alive, and they threw him into prison, where he died of starvation. His holy body was buried in Magnesia. In the year 126, St Quadratus wrote an Apologia in defence of Christianity. Presented to the emperor Hadrian (117-138), the Apologia affected the persecution of Christians, since the em- peror issued a decree saying that no one should be convicted without just cause. This Apologia was known to the historian Eusebius in the fourth century. At the present time, only part of this Apologia survives, quoted by Eusebius: “The deeds of our Savior were always witnessed, because they were true. His healings and raising people from the dead were visible not only when they were healed and raised, but always. They lived not only during the existence of the Savior upon the earth, but they also remained alive long after His departure. Some, indeed, have survived to our own time.” In July of 1274, the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII accepted a union with the Roman Church at Lyons, France. Faced with dangers from Charles of Anjou, the Ottoman Turks, and other en- emies, the emperor found such an alliance with Rome expedient. The Union of Lyons required the Orthodox to recognize the authority of the Pope, the use of the Filioque in the Creed, and the use of azymes (unleavened bread) in the Liturgy. Patriarch Joseph was deposed because he would not agree to these conditions. The monastic clergy and many of the laity, both at home and in other Orthodox countries, vigorously opposed the Union, denouncing the emperor for his politi- cal schemes and for his betrayal of Orthodoxy. On January 9, 1275 a Liturgy was celebrated in Constantinople in which the Pope was com- memorated as “Gregory, the chief pontiff of the Apostolic Church, and Ecumenical Pope.” The 1510 audubon drive • columbia, missouri, 65201 • tel. 573.817.0050 / fax 573.449.8452 email: [email protected] • web: www.saintlukecolumbia.org at the small entrance we sing first antiphon. third antiphon.

  • The Image of Justinianic Orthopraxy in Eastern Monastic Literature
    The Image of Justinianic Orthopraxy in Eastern Monastic Literature 2 From 535 to 546, the emperor Justinian issued a series of imperial constitutions which sought to regulate the activities of monks and monasteries. Unprecedented in its scope, this legislative programme marked an attempt by the emperor to bring ascetics firmly under the purview of his government. Taken together, its rulings legislated on virtually every aspect of the ascetic life, prescribing a detailed model of ‘orthopraxy,’ or correct behaviour, to which the emperor demanded monks adhere. However, whilst it is clichéd to evoke Justinian’s status as a reformer of the law, scholars continue to view these orthopraxic rulings with some uncertainty. This is a reflection, in part, of the difficulties faced when attempting to judge the extent to which they were ever adopted or enforced. Studies of the emperor’s divisive religious policies have tended to focus instead upon matters of doctrine and, in particular, Justinian’s efforts to enforce his view of orthodoxy upon anti-Chalcedonian, monastic dissidents. This paper builds upon recent work to argue that the effects of Justinian’s monastic legislation were, in fact, widely felt.1 It will argue that accounts of the mid-sixth century by Eastern monastic authors reveal widespread familiarity with the rulings on ascetic practice contained in the emperor’s Novels. Their reception reveals the extent of imperial power over ascetics during this period, frequently presented as one in which the ‘holy man’ exercised almost boundless social and spiritual authority. I will concentrate on three main examples to illustrate this point, chosen to represent a suitable cross-section of the contemporary monastic movement: Cyril of Scythopolis’ Life of Sabas, the Life of Z‘ura in the Lives of the Eastern Saints by John of Ephesus, and the Coptic texts which detail the career of the Egyptian monastic leader, Abraham of Farshut.2 ORTHOPRAXY IN JUSTINIAN’S MONASTIC LEGISLATION Firstly, however, we must discuss Justinian’s monastic laws in greater detail.

  • St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral SUMMER COFFEE HOURS! Cordially Invites
    August 1, 2017 Father’s Message Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Greetings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! St. At the heart of the worship life of Orthodox Christians is the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. And at the heart of the Divine Liturgy is the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. This ritual is the most Nicholas ancient and universal in the history of our Church, going back all the way to our Lord and Savior Jesus Greek Christ, who instituted it at His last meal with His disciples before His death, called the “Mystical Supper” in our tradition. He declared the bread to be His Body, and the wine to be His Blood. We make this Orthodox miracle real again every time we repeat His words, and invoke God the Father to send down His Holy Cathedral Spirit to effect the change. How exactly this happens, our Church does not attempt to analyze; it is the “mystery” at the heart of the Mystical Supper. All we know is that it is the Lord’s ardent desire that we be united to Him and to one another not just spiritually, but also in a material, tangible way, through receiving AUGUST 2017 Holy Communion. In this manner, we are invited to experience a foretaste of God’s Kingdom already in this life, “for remission of sins and life everlasting.” Newsletter When the priest invokes the Holy Spirit, the prayer focuses on more than the bread and wine. The exact words are: “Once again we offer to you this spiritual worship without the shedding of blood, and we ask, pray, and entreat you: send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here present- Points of ed.” The blessing, the sanctification is intended not just for what is in the chalice, but also on everyone Interest Inside: who is present for the worship service.

  • Conversations an E-Journal from the Uniting Church Centre for Theology & Ministry 1 Morrison Close Parkville, VIC, 3052 [email protected]
    Conversations An e-journal from the uniting church Centre for Theology & Ministry 1 Morrison Close Parkville, VIC, 3052 [email protected] Accountability in Discernment: Our Life and Death is in Our Neighbour Introduction ‘Discernment’ is something of buzz word. Reports of it abound in church circles accompanied by wry smiles: that someone has discerned ‘their’ call to study overseas, to offer new programs in inspiring locations. It has even become a lunchtime joke: ‘Have you discerned your sandwich options?’ While Christian tradition is clear that all of these choices, from diet to institutional investment to individual vocation, are indeed matters for discernment, applying the buzz word rightly is no laughing matter. Against a wide‐spread assumption that discernment is an individual concern into which the Christian community should not intrude or even enquire too closely, the monastic tradition points to an accompanying vocabulary of other terms. Ancient catch‐cries from the Christian tradition link ‘discernment’ powerfully to ‘humility’, ‘obedience’, ‘accountability’, and ‘the infinite horizon of God’s Reign’. Woven together these qualities and attitudes give a rich texture to the patterns of faithful discernment. These less marketable but deeply resonant terms offer checks and balances to the tendency to see discernment as a personal matter for an individual and God. Authentic discernment is a spiritual gift and fruit of humility, made possible by a loving community. This article explores the monastic understanding of discernment and the role of accountability in ensuring good decisions. It identifies two paradoxes. Firstly, while individuals who seek God are called to ask above all ‘Who am I?’, they never discover their true selves alone, as self‐authorising mavericks, but always in community and in the neighbour.
