Liberty, Equality, Fraternity By Pantelis Boukalas - Kathimerini, Athens

Even if we have difficulty grappling with complex and complicated notions, and even if we are ruled by an urge to divide the world into Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, Civilized and Barbaric, it is still neces- sary to turn an ear to the lessons of history. A first lesson is that Good and Evil have no geo- graphic relevance. Good exists in no greater quantity in Europe and America than in Asia and Africa, and the same goes for evil. In recent history, the West has on numerous occasions flirted with the forces of Evil to promote its interests, which should make us skep- tical to claims of purity and goodness. A second lesson is that the religious and cultural map that we have come up with in a bid to conve- niently give locations to our ideas is too a product of biased fantasy. No matter what the Scriptures say, there has never been a religion that was purely be- nign. Similarly, no civilization in history has ever been virtuous and immaculate through and through. Our Greco-Roman legacy has its own failings simply be- cause it was the product of history, not metaphysics. So if we insist on treating history as a clash of civi- lizations, the conflict is not one between Western and Afro-Asian civilizations, or between the Christian and Muslim religions. The dividing line is between the culture of freedom, A French national flag remains hung at the statue named 'Le triomphe de la Republique' (Republic Triumph) by French solidarity, tolerance and democracy on the one hand, artist Jules Dalou, in the Place de la Nation (Nation square), on Monday, a day after demonstrators put during a unity rally ‘Marche Republicaine' in tribute to the 17 victims of a three-day killing spree by homegrown Islamists. and the culture of violence, intolerance, authoritari- anism, religious zeal and theocracy on the other.

Let me stress “irreplaceable”. The practical problem is that religion and language are intertwined. Orthodoxy is flexible. It does not oc- cur in a social, cultural or linguistic vacuum. As you know, Orthodoxy was brought to these shores by immigrants and nurtured by them. With the effluxion of time, these earlier generations are lessening and the newer mainly English-speaking gen- erations remain. Despite the best efforts to maintain language, it has been eroded through acculturation and assimilation. There are many reasons for this situation. It does not help that in our family and community we are gradually removing any need to speak Greek (even in this opinion piece). I think it is also a question of wanting.

Hundreds of worshipers traveled to Thessaloniki, Greece, in order to pay their respects to the recently canonized St Paisios, whose tomb is located at the Monastery of Saint John the Theolo- gian. It is estimated that a total of 1,500 people visit the Greek monastery each week, a figure that will surely increase significantly, now that Elder Paisios was canonized. Archbishop of Mount Sinai and Raithu Damianos was among the tomb’s visitors. The regular monastery visitors noted that the worshipers who have recently started arriving are people of every age and nationality. In fact, many Russians are travelling to Thessaloniki in order to visit the monastery individually or by organized travel coaches. Elder Paisios was canonized by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriar- chate on January 13, 21 years after his repose in 1994, despite the fact that, according to Orthodox Church rules, a person can be canonized 70 years after his death. Paisios inspired thousands of people with his work and way of life. His can- onization is expected to significantly in- crease tourist flow from the Balkans and Russia.

Archbishop Stylianos visits new Greek Community building in Melbourne

Archbishop Stylianos of Australia made a historic visit to the new building of the Greek Community of Melbourne on Thursday, December 31, 2014. Their Graces Bishop Ezekiel of Dervis and Bishop Iakovos of Mile- toupolis accompanied His Eminence in his tour around the new Greek Community Centre of Contemporary Culture. The Archbishop met with Greek Community President Vasilis Pa- pastergiadis, as well as Vice Presidents Jim Bossinakis and George Kallianis, Secretary General Costas Markos, Treasurer Nick Parthi- mos, Greek Community Centre of Contemporary Culture director George Menidis and community staff members. His Eminence was informed about the new building, the educa- tional programs and the Greek Orthodox Community activities, while Markos presented him the Community’s first minute book, dating back to 1897. Archbishop Stylianos congratulated the Board on the Communi- ty’s work and activities. “You are making a great work and you need to be congratulated,” he said. Furthermore, he stated that he was excited about his visit and wished everyone a Happy New Year and success. Papastergiadis noted that the Archbishop’s visit “was a historic moment.” “It is an indication of good relations between the Arch- diocese of Australia and the Community. It is also an indication of the strong ties between the leadership of both institutions. It was an opportunity to show the new Community building to His Emi- nence and talk about the positive effects of a united front, some- thing for which both institutions are proud. We shall work togeth- er so that these positive results continue in the future. Archbishop Stylianos expressed his appreciation for our great work. We thank him for honouring us with a visit to the new Community building.” Source: www.greekreporter.com Singer Dimitris Basis to perform Greek-Cypriot Director’s film ‘Anna’ in Melbourne and Sydney receives Acclaimed Greek singer and performer Dimitris Basis Australian Award (pictured) headlines this year’s programs at the largest celebration of Greek culture outside of Greece; the Greek-Cypriot director Spyros Haralabous has Lonsdale Street Festival in Melbourne (Sat 14/2) and been excelling abroad.

Each painting I do has been inspired by passages from scripture, or a phrase or prayer that touches me during Divine Liturgy, or a perspective of the writings of the Holy Mothers and Fathers, or what I take to prayer. Sometimes it is something as simple as the incense that rises or the image of the hundreds of beeswax candles lit in the Holy Sepulchre, or how the light enters through the stained glass images and shines on the iconostasis… all the images settle into my visual memo- ry bank and become these wordless illustrations of the sublime.

By Taliésin Coward

“Rarely is the question asked: is our children learn- ing?” were the words spoken, and sadly not in jest, by former US President George Bush Jnr. In Ancient Greece, and also, for example in Australia in past gener- ations, the first steps in providing an ‘education’ have been to, initially, equip students with some basic skills; chief among these were often reading, writing and arithmetic (somewhat amusingly referred to as the three ‘R’s). They are, of course, also essential skills for any would-be autodidact. The word ‘educate’ is taken from the Latin educare – to bring forth. As a teacher, one aims to impart knowledge and skills to help stu- dents ‘bring forth’ and develop their abilities. A noble aim, but one that I fear is too old fashioned for many of the educational theories and practices of today. A more accurate description of the education process, as it is experienced by many students today, is perhaps not to bring forth, but rather to ‘stuff full’ (of paradigms, facts, but rarely genuine skills, it seems) in order to pass a test. For example, in my own experi- ence, it is not uncommon to come across late-primary or early-high school students struggling with fractions and basic mental calculations (1 + ½), or to come across children with several years worth of schooling who lack fine motor skills and are still labouring under the im- pression that the best way to hold a pen is with one’s fist, rather than one’s fingers. (In their defence, it might be noted that they are, however, fully proficient in the ‘jab and swipe’ method of finger-pointing required to run touch screens.) How is it that we have reached a point where vast numbers of ‘educated’ children lack the most basic of skills? Although there are many possi- ble factors, one part of the answer is perhaps to be found in the biting examination of the English under- class mentality, Life at the Bottom, by retired prison doctor and psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple. Whether you agree with Dalrymple’s observations or not, they make interesting food for thought. Along with a general lack of value being placed upon education in modern popular culture, Dalrymple cites two highly destructive educational policies (unfortu- nately evident in Australia) centred on the notions of self-esteem (which can also be termed the ‘glass egos’ theory) and relevancy. The ‘glass egos’ theory holds that to correct a mistake, to tell a child that they have gotten something wrong, is damaging to their sense of self-worth and should therefore be avoided. An exam- ple I am aware of was of a student who habitually wrote a particular letter from the alphabet back-to-front. Gen- tle correction by the tutor was met with condemnation by the parent who was following their school teacher’s view that any correction should be avoided as it would damage the child’s self-esteem (a view the parent re- vised when it was pointed out that it was better to be gently and kindly corrected now, than to be the subject historical knowledge, which relates to the policy on rel- Dalrymple, of the fact that an education (including the of ridicule – overt or covert – by one’s peers or employ- evancy. For example, if a child is asked to decipher the skills to be an autodidact) has been the route perhaps ers later on). phrase ‘Achilles’ heel’, it would not be strange today if “...most frequently travelled – to social advancement”; Dalrymple suggests that not to correct mistakes at all, the answer came back, ‘wasn’t he played by Brad Pitt?’ a process that has seen many immigrants not only sur- on the basis that it may damage a child’s self-esteem, Yet that same child may harbour serious doubts about vive, but thrive. sets a dangerous precedent, providing a shield behind the viability of the planet’s future, and therefore their Although perhaps the flaws of current educational which poor teachers can hide their lack of ability, and own, from constant reminders threaded throughout thinking are not entirely new (if Lady Bracknell’s com- actively hindering good teachers from carrying out their various subjects on current politically driven topics.

As Dalrymple points Dalrymple, who suggests that education is never just mistake, for example, the error could only be corrected out, the way this has been put into practice in England the job of an ‘official’ teacher alone.
