Compassion for Animals in the Orthodox Church
International Journal of Orthodox Theology 10:2 (2019) 9 urn:nbn:de:0276-2019-2025 His Eminence Kallistos Ware, Metropolitan of Diokleia Compassion for Animals in the Orthodox Church Abstract In this article, His Eminence Metro- politan Kallistos Ware deals with the question about the place of animals in the liturgical and theological world of the Orthodox Church. “The art of the icon is par excellence a liturgical art.” Therefore, if we can find icons with animals and plants or stars and all nature, we might understand this as an eschatological view of the uni- verse. “We humans are not saved from the world but with the world; and that means, with the animals.” Another meaningful question of this article is: “Do animals have souls?” “Even if animals are not ensouled, yet they are undoubtedly sentient. They are responsive and vulnerable. (…) As His Eminence Kallistos living beings, sensitive and easily Ware, Metropolitan of hurt, they are to be viewed as a Diokleia 10 His Eminence Kalistos Ware, Metropolitan of Diokleia 'Thou', not an 'It', (…) not as objects to be exploited and manip- ulated but as subjects, capable of joy and sorrow, of happiness and affliction. They are to be approached with gentleness and tenderness; and, more than that, with respect and reverence, for they are precious in God's sight.” Keywords Compassion, animals, Orthodox Church, worship, soul What is a merciful heart? It is a heart on fire for the whole of creation, for humankind, for the birds, for the animals, for the demons, for all that exists. St Isaac the Syrian (7th century) 1 A place for animals in our worship? As I sit writing at my table, I have before me a Russian icon of the martyrs St Florus and St Laurus. -

(Ware)-The Power of the Name
The Power of the Name By Bishop Kallistos Ware of Diokleia. An inciteful introduction to the Jesus Prayer by which Eastern Christians have trained themselves to be silent, to listen to the still small voice of God. Prayer and Silence ʻWhen you pray,ʼ it has been wisely said by an Orthodox writer in Finland, ʻyou yourself must be silent. You yourself must be silent; let the prayer speak.ʼ To achieve silence: this is of all things the hardest and the most decisive in the art of prayer. Silence is not merely negative — a pause between words, a temporary cessation of speech — but, properly understood, it is highly positive: an attitude of attentive alertness, of vigilance, and above all of listening. The hesychast, the person who has attained hesychia, inner stillness or silence, is par excellence the one who listens. He listens to the voice of prayer in his own heart, and he understands that this voice is not his own but that of Another speaking within him. The relationship between praying and keeping silent will become clearer if we consider four shout definitions. The first is from The Concise Oxford Dictionary, which describes prayer as ʻ… solemn request to God … formula used in prayingʼ. Prayer is here envisaged as something expressed in words, and more specifically as an act of asking God to confer some benefit. We are still on the level of external rather than inner prayer. Few of us can rest satisfied with such a definition. Our second definition, from a Russian starets of the last century, is far less exterior. -
Ignatian and Hesychast Spirituality: Praying Together
St Vladimir’s Th eological Quarterly 59:1 (2015) 43–53 Ignatian and Hesychast Spirituality: Praying Together Tim Noble Some time aft er his work with St Makarios of Corinth (1731–1805) on the compilation of the Philokalia,1 St Nikodimos of the Holy Mountain (1748–1809) worked on a translation of an expanded version of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola.2 Metropolitan Kallistos Ware has plausibly suggested that the translation may have been motivated by Nikodimos’ intuition that there was something else needed to complement the hesychast tradition, even if only for those whose spiritual mastery was insuffi cient to deal with its demands.3 My interest in this article is to look at the encounters between the hesychast and Ignatian traditions. Clearly, when Nikodimos read Pinamonti’s version of Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, he found in it something that was reconcilable with his own hesychast practice. What are these elements of agreement and how can two apparently quite distinct traditions be placed side by side? I begin my response with a brief introduction to the two traditions. I will also suggest that spiritual traditions off er the chance for experience to meet experience. Moreover, this experience is in principle available to all, though in practice the benefi ciaries will always be relatively few in number. I then look in more detail at some features of the hesychast 1 See Kallistos Ware, “St Nikodimos and the Philokalia,” in Brock Bingaman & Bradley Nassif (eds.), Th e Philokalia: A Classic Text of Orthodox Spirituality (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012), 9–35, at 15. -

He edits the Newsletter, Europaica: Bulletin of the Representation of the Russian Orthodox Church to the European Institutions, which appears periodically in English, French and German. The following paper was delivered at the Lavra of St. Peter in Salzburg on December 11, 2003, and is reprinted here from Europaica No. 35 (3/2/2004). Many people associate Europe mainly with the Catholic and Protestant traditions. Recently Islam, a religion that has attracted much attention in mass media, has been added to this list, and attempts are often made to predict the results of its growth in European countries. -

English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records
T iPlCTP \jrIRG by Lot L I B RAHY OF THL UN IVER.SITY Of ILLINOIS 975.5 D4-5"e ILL. HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.
