He is still in rehab therapy at Beaumont Hospital, and it is hoped that he will be strong enough to go home this coming Wednesday, Oct. 28th, to complete his rehabilitation. OUR ANNUAL BLANKET DRIVE CONTINUES. PLEASE GIVE YOUR DONATIONS NOW. GOAL: 100-150 blankets. As we did last year, we are collecting $5.00 per blanket, and are purchasing them at Walmart, saving you from having to buy the blankets yourselves. Please donate for as many blankets as you can afford. (See Mary Ann Harvilla.) At least the first 100 will be donated to the Redford Interfaith Relief (RIR). We are pleased to report that the first 50 blankets have been received and paid for, thanks to a generous donor. The second 50 blankets have been ordered, but only partially paid for. If you haven’t yet donated for blankets, please do so now, and be as generous as your circumstances permit. WHAT IS REDFORD INTERFAITH RELIEF (RIR)? The RIR was founded in 1997 by the Redford Ministerial Alliance, and is sponsored by a faith-based coalition of Redford clergy and their churches, including Fr. Roman and St. Innocent, partnering with the Redford township officials & schools, to serve all people in need in the Redford community with food, clothing, and other needed items, including blankets. Fr. Roman is now a member of the Board of RIR. The RIR seeks to serve God by “feeding the hungry, clothing the naked...” as the Lord commanded.

PARABLE OF THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS By Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh 21st Sunday After Pentecost — St. Luke 16:19-31 A Sermon delivered on November 5, 1989 In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. As every of Christ's parables of the judgement today's parable has got a very simple aspect and at the same time should be reflected on a deeper level. The simple aspect is this: you have had on earth all that was good, Lazarus has had nothing; he therefore receives in eternity all the goods which he has lacked on earth and you are deprived of it. But this is not the real and deeper meaning of it. Who is this rich man? It is a man who not only possessed all that the earth could give him: wealth, a good name, a status among his follow-citizens; it is a man who craved for nothing else.

The thirteenth tribe. The collapse of the Khazar Empire and its Heritage. Trans. from English. Kabalkina AY - SPb .: Publishing Group "Eurasia", 2001. - 320 p. Arthur Koestler found an original response to the ideology of anti- Semitism. According to him opinion, the fall of the Khazar khanate spawned several waves of migration, constituting the main core of the population professing Judaism in Eastern Europe. Since ethnic migrants from the Khazars were not Semites, it is untenable and anti-Semitism. Drawing on texts for Arab travelers ninth and tenth centuries. Byzantine sources, "Tale of Bygone Years", works Artamonov Kokovtsov Toynbee, Vernadsky, Dunlop, Kucera, Poles and many others historians, the author provides several different vision of the formation and collapse of Khazar state. Other accents becomes paradoxical at first view the choice of faith. A fascinating study of the history of the Khazar khanate, throughout its existence was under the cross countervailing pressure state, religious and political interest will not leave the reader indifferent, for history, for getting up Koestler pages of the book, does not tolerate indifference. Publisher "Eurasia" is grateful to the publisher Hutchinson & Co (Publishers) Ltd for reporting that the rights to the Arthur Koestler work are regarded as public domain.

The main idea of the authors is to present the history of Ukraine through the eyes of foreigners for explaining the specific historical relations between Ukraine’s inhabitants and other nations. It’s believed that such approach should make the study of subject relevant for the English- speaking students. While mastering the texts students should answer questions and as a result form a historical understanding of purposes with which the foreigners of different periods came to Ukraine.

Very few sources written in the 9th to 13th centuries in Rus survive today. The Primary Chronicle is the most widely known and available account of the history of Rus for historians to use. However, scholars utilize the chronicle with caution because the original oldest surviving chronicle was written almost two centuries after the first dated entry. We can expect that not everything written in the chronicles was accurate and that changes would have been made.

  • The Origins of the Slavic Nations: Premodern
    The Origins of the Slavic Nations The latest developments in the countries of eastern Europe, including the rise of authoritarian tendencies in Russia and Belarus, as well as the victory of the democratic “Orange Revolution” in Ukraine, pose impor- tant questions about the origins of the East Slavic nations and the essen- tial similarities or differences between their cultures. This book traces the origins of the modern Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian nations by focusing on premodern forms of group identity among the Eastern Slavs. It also challenges attempts to “nationalize” the Rus past on behalf of existing national projects, laying the groundwork for a new understan- ding of the premodern history of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The book covers the period from the Christianization of Kyivan Rus in the tenth century to the reign of Peter I and his eighteenth-century succes- sors, by which time the idea of nationalism had begun to influence the thinking of East Slavic elites. is Professor of History and associate director of the Peter Jacyk Centre at the University of Alberta.

  • Four Capitals of Ancient Rus Petkov Sergey
    EuropeanEuropean ScienceScience HistoryHistory Four capitals of Ancient Rus Petkov Sergey Prof., DrSc., Dr.h.c., honor. prof. academ. MKA, expert EEDA, Viceprezident EIDV Abstract. A historical article – the author's reflection on the past of our homeland. Questions, secrets, hypotheses let each reader will feel like an explorer and pioneer of ancient mysteries. The initial stage of Rus’ development is researched in the paper, and this very period of the princes’ reign is defined as ancient in chronological understanding. It is intended for all people who are concerned and searching, doubting and thinking, daring and walking along the road of knowledge. Key words: Slavs, Rus, the Varangians, Kiev, Byzantium, Sviatoslav, Bulgaria, prince, konung. Problem statement Since the earliest times, rulers have tried to perpetuate their names in the memory of descendants: majestic monuments, low-reliefs and inscriptions are evidence of their deeds. Since the appearance of a written language, the authorities have been praised and ridiculed in verse and prose. Philosophers have tried to synthesize the mechanisms of equitable social order, and the chroniclers recorded the milestones of appearance and disappearance of states and ruling dynasties. After the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula (The Autonomous Republic of Crimea), the President of the Russian Federation - V. Putin declared: «We are one nation. Kiev is the mother of Rus' cities.» Thus the archaic quotation became a political slogan. The history of each state has many secrets. Sadly, politicians at all times tried to "rewrite" the history to their advantage. But historical myths are not mere history misinterpretation. The distorted history becomes the basis for confrontation between states and peoples and leads to armed conflicts.

  • Saint Luke the Evangelist Greek Orthodox Church
    SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH october 27, 2013 seventh sunday of luke The Holy Martyr Nestor of Thessalonica suffered in the year 306 in the city of Thessalonica together with the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica (October 26). Saint Nestor the Chronicler, of the Kiev Caves, Near Caves was born at Kiev in 1050. He came to St Theo- dosius (May 3) as a young man, and became a novice. St Nestor took monastic tonsure under the successor to St Theodosius, the igumen Stephen, and under him was ordained a hierodeacon. Concerning his lofty spiritual life it says that, with a number of other monastic Fathers he participated in the casting out of a devil from Nikita the Hermit (January 31), who had become fascinated by the He- brew wisdom of the Old Testament. St Nestor deeply appreciated true knowledge, along with humility and penitence. “Great is the benefit of book learning,” he said, “for books point out and teach us the way to repentance, since from the words of books we discover wisdom and temperance. This is the stream, water- ing the universe, from which springs wisdom. In books is a boundless depth, by them we are comforted in sorrows, and they are a bridle for moderation. If you enter diligently into the books of wisdom, then you shall discover great benefit for your soul. Therefore, the one who reads books converses with God or the saints.” In the monastery St Nestor had the obedience of being the chronicler.
