For Orthodox Christians, Read each weekday during Great Lent the aim of prayer is to enter into conversation with God. Prayer is O Lord and Master of my life, take from me sometimes referred to as dialogue with God. Often it is a waiting on the spirit of sloth, God in silence. In the church it is defined as the lifting of the mind despair, lust of power, and idle talk. and heart to God, and also as walking in the presence of God. We But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, turn our mind and thoughts towards Him. We mentally gaze at Him patience, and love to Thy servant. and speak with Him in reverence, fear, and hope. At times we Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my speak to Him with words and at other times we stand in reverent own transgressions, silence. Saying nothing, but being aware of His presence.

The parish might consider budget line-items for Charitable Programs, Missions, Outreach, Youth Worker training. Adult Education, Educational Outreach Materials and more. Though some may balk at this extra burden on the budget, most will be inspired by the vision of a parish interested in improving and adding to its ministries.

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.

  • Language of the Heart
    [ESSAY] LANGUAGE OF THE HEART DUNCAN REID WITNESSES THE CHANGES IN RUSSIAN WORSHIP AND THE CHURCH SINCE THE END OF THE SOVIET ERA RECENTLY I revisited my adolescence. I borrowed the DVD of Doctor Zhivago, and watched all four hours of it. Of course I've read the book, but it was the David Lean film that had changed my world back then. Now, forty years later, Omar Sharif's brooding, ponderous silences in the lead role are somehow embar- rassingly romantic—I'm watching this with my matter-of-fact, tell-it-like-it-is Gen-Y children. And Julie Christie's pale lips, ash-blonde hair and bluer-than- blue eyes are somehow very sixties. The English-language dialogue in a film set in Russia seems quaint. Yet I surprise myself remembering scenes and bits of dialogue with the same immediacy as it seemed to have then. In 1965 I was in fourth form, as we called it then, and enjoying the rare good fortune to be learning Russian. I say enjoying, because it was my favourite subject, and taught by my favourite teacher. Russia was exotic and powerful and danger- ous, and this, as Robert Dessaix has eloquently noted in his book (and so forth), [212] Language of the Heart carried a certain erotic charge:'... there was a kind of erotic fascination at the heart of our attachment to our subject'. Four years earlier the Soviet Union had shown her scientific superiority by putting Yuri Gagarin into orbit, and the year after that had scared all our parents witless during the Cuban missile crisis.

In these pages you will once again find a full record of the extensive events programme which we delivered during the course of our 2018-2019 series. Topics and regions predictably included Brexit, China, Russia, the Middle East and the US, as well the big global issues of the day: climate change, terrorism, globalisation, cybersecurity. But the breadth and range of countries, region and topics covered was striking, from Brazil to Yemen, and from international development and the Commonwealth to the return of great power rivalry, attracting record audiences along the way. Unsurprisingly, much focus and political capital has continued to lie with the Brexit process, which has dominated the public discourse. But in GSF debates throughout the year on the UK’s role in the world, I observed a clear desire – demand, even - for substance to be given to the concept of ‘Global Britain’ and a firm eschewal of any reduction in our engagement in world events. During this period of change and uncertainty in the UK and beyond, the answers to the many complicated questions of policy and strategy facing us remain elusive, but GSF’s mandate requires us to continue to strive to seek them.
