A Proposal for Renewing Liturgy in the Twenty-First Century
About three years ago, my grandfather, a Ukrainian Orthodox priest for over 50 years, gave me a book. The book was written by a Russian priest of the nineteenth century, and provides basic rubrics for clergy and choir directors in celebrating the liturgical year. When my grandfather handed me the book, he said, «this is for you: here is the liturgy of our Church, completely unchanged for 2,000 years.»

Gillian Crow, This Holy Man: Impressions of Metropolitan Anthony (Review)
When I first picked up Gillian Crow’s biography of Metropolitan Anthony Bloom, I was surprised at the title «This Holy Man.» My surprise was twofold: first, it seemed to me a marketing mistake to use such a title insofar as many modern readers may likely dismiss with a smile or complaint any biography with the word «holy» in the title. The second source of my surprise was my own study of the metropolitan’s life and works.

In the article its author argues that we live in a post-ecclesiological age due to our loss of sense of the local church belonging in a particular place. He also analyses the ways in which overlapping ‘co-territorial’ Churches define themselves by use of particular rites (Catholic), by confession (Protestant), or, in the case of the Orthodox, by ethnic origin.

Why the Incarnation?
Every year, because we keep two calendars in this church, the feasts of Christmas and Theophany, or Epiphany, are somehow meshed together: we celebrate one after the other and one before the other. But it is important to remember that this overlap is not out of place.

Ecclesiastical Regionalism: Structures of Communion or Cover for Separatism?
Issues of dialogue with Roman Catholicism. In discussing issues of ecclesiology, the temptation is always great to manipulate concepts and doctrinal definitions, while avoiding a critical approach to their application in practice. It is easy, for example, for an Orthodox theologian to describe the ecclesiology of St. Ignatius of Antioch and to construct an apologetic argument in favor of the contemporary Orthodox position concerning Roman Primacy. But it is more difficult to analyze ecclesiastical institutions – as they developed in East and West – in their existential role of maintaining the faith, shepherding the faithful, and accomplishing the Church’s mission in the world.
