Pieśń Cherubinów nr 7 Dymitra Bortniańskiego i jej oddziaływanie na kompozycje epoki

Author(s): Piotr Orzeł / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

Tematem artykułu jest wpływ inspiracji na rosyjskich, ortodoksyjnych kompozytorów żyjących w dziewiętnastym wieku. Autor prezentuje nam trzy interpretacje liturgicznej Pieśni Cherubinów D. Bortniańskiego, P. Turczaninowa oraz M. Rimskiego – Korsakowa w celu ukazania relacji między nimi. Nie zapomina również o mniej znanych twórcach, którzy jako artyści Kościoła Ortodoksyjnego musieli tworzyć te same Pieśni, wchodząc w kontakt z wielkimi Zamysłami Pana. Przytoczone przykłady stanowią namacalny dowód na to, że inspiracje istnieją. Oczywiście naturalnym ich źródłem jest trójdzielna konstrukcja tekstu, w którym możemy rozróżnić zmiany zarówno w muzycznym charakterze jak i harmonii. Wszystkie te zmiany zostały „wyszeptane” przez Mistrza D. Bortniańskiego. Dzięki niemu dzieła utrzymane są w jednym stylu oraz napisane zgodnie z kanonami liturgicznymi.

Starotestamentowi prorocy jako typ świętości w Kościele prawosławnym

Author(s): Jarosław Charkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2015

Zgodnie z nauka Kościoła prawosławnego prorocy stanowią osobny typ starotestamentowych świętych, czczonych jako osoby natchnione Świętym Duchem, które głosiły ludowi wolę Bożą. To nie tyle osoby zapowiadające czy przepowiadające przyszłość, co ludzie będący „ustami” Boga na ziemi. W prawosławiu prorocy, obok praojców, traktowani są zasadniczo jako osobna kategoria świętych Starego Testamentu. Przedmiotem rozważań autora artykułu jest przedstawienie proroków jako osobnej kategorii świętości w Kościele ze szczególnym zaakcentowaniem ich wewnętrznej systematyki. Autor przedstawia również definicje terminów: „prorok” oraz innych używanych wobec proroków terminów. Omawia rozwój profetyzmu starotestamentowego w różnych okresach historycznych, poczynając od Mojżesza, zwanego „pierwszym z proroków”, poprzez proroków poszczególnych epok dziejów narodu wybranego, na ostatnim proroku Starego Testamentu i pierwszym Nowego Testamentu – św. Janie Chrzcicielu – kończąc.

Cyrylicki apostoł-ewangeliarz niedzielny z Drukarni Brackiej w Łucku (1640 r.)

Author(s): Jerzy Ostapczuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2015

W historii cyrylickiego drukarstwa znane są tylko cztery stare druki lekcjonarzy. Trzy z nich to apostoły-ewangeliarze niedzielne. Po raz pierwszy księga tego typu została wydana w Uhercach w 1620 roku przez Pawła Domżiwa Lutkowicza Telicę, którego zakład drukarski w 1635 roku został ofiarowany Bractwu prawosławnemu w Łucku. Tam w 1640 roku apostoł-ewangeliarz niedzielny został wydrukowany po raz drugi. Artykuł zawiera opis bibliologiczny cyrylickiego apostoła-ewangeliarza niedzielnego wydanego w drukarni Brackiej w Łucku w 1640 roku. Wyniki analizy typograficznej, tekstologicznej i liturgicznej wszystkich trzech lekcjonarzy niedzielnych wskazują, że łucki aprakos jest dziełem oryginalnym. Nie jest to przedruk lekcjonarza z Uherców, z którym łączy go jedynie klasyfikacja typologiczna.

Брачният живот на Гаврил Радомир – любов или политика

Author(s): Sashka Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1-2/2013

Gavril Radomir had two marriages. There are very few sources about them, but the evidence they contain hints about dynamism and emotions, revealing the secret intensity of the personal life of historical figures from the Bulgarian mediaeval history, which is worthy of an attempt to be uncovered. And as the story is about the second person in the hierarchy of the mediaeval Bulgarian state (Gavril Radomir took his marriage decisions while he was still just the crown prince), his personal life was inevitably connected to the politics, since he lived in an epoch and milieu when and where the choice of spouse often depended on political considerations or had influence on political relationships. The analysis of the evidence about Gavril Radomir’s marriages, about the reasons for them, about the identities of his two wives will allow us to present the historical situation in Bulgaria on the verge between the first and the second millennium in a new and hopefully interesting way. The main characters in this short but exciting saga apart from Gavril Radomir were his two wives. The first one was a Hungarian princess, who came to the Bulgarian royal house in the late tenth century. And the second one was a Byzantine, captive from Larissa, called Irina. Two interpolations to the Vienna manuscript of the chronicle of Scylitzes are the only source of information about the marriages of Samuil’s crown prince and about the reasons for their conclusion. Unfortunately, the evidence is too scanty. We only learn that: the first wife of Gavril Radomir was a “daughter of the Hungarian king“, but no name is mentioned – neither of the daughter nor of her father; the marriage was dissolved on the initiative of the Bulgarian royal prince for unknown reasons and as a result the princess despite of being pregnant was compelled to go back to Hungary; then Gavril Radomir married again to a beautiful prisoner from Larisa named Irina, and all that happened while Samuil was still alive. On the base of these primary data and some other circumstantial evidence an attempt is made to reveal the reasons for the conclusion of the first marriage; to define more accurately its duration; to find out what caused the divorce and why the prince married a second time, and finally answer the question how much the crown prince’s marriage life was subject to policy and how much to his own feelings.

BOSKO I. BOJOVIC – L'EGLISE ORTHODOXE SERBE. HISTOIRE – SPIRITUALITE – MODERNITE, INSTITUTE DES ETUDES BALKANIQUES, BELGRADE, 2014, 372 P.

Author(s): Maxim (Iuliu-Marius) Morariu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The history of the Serbian Orthodox Church is not very well known in the Ro-manian space. Some pages from the works about the history of the universal Church published by authors like Father Ioan Rămureanu , Father Nicolae Chifăr , Father Vasile Muntean or Father Mircea Păcurariu show some aspects of it (especially from the medieval period, when this Church had also a Patriarch) and some works present the relationships between this Church and the Romanian Orthodox Church . However, these works only give a general vision (and not always a complete one) about the history of this important ecclesiastic institution.

DIE ORTHODOXE KIRCHE RUMÄNIENS, DER „ZÖLLNER“ ZWISCHEN POLITISCHEN ELITEN UND BÜRGERN.

Author(s): Raul Rognean / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2016

In this paper, the author makes a strong case against the de-separation of state and Orthodox Church in Romania, especially in the political discourse. The religious discourse has been used by politicians to attack non-orthodox political enemies, while the church increased its influence in key political institutions, demanding more and more privileges, in the name of the symphony between church and state and of the autocephaly of the Romanian Orthodox Church. This paper deconstructs the concept of symphony and autocephaly and argues that their use in the political discourse goes far beyond their original meaning. The church uses these and similar concepts to engage a modern communicative interaction with the political and the public sphere using classical lobby but also new social media, besieging the public discourse, with the benefit of a large acceptance of theologically and democratically problematic ideas.

Misterium Paschy Chrystusa

Author(s): Piotr Pietkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2014

Misterium Paschy to tajemnica, której źródłem jest celebracja dwóch zasadniczych faktów w historii: Śmierci Jezusa Chrystusa na Krzyżu i Jego chwalebnego Zmartwychwstania. Poprzez ukazanie historycznej drogi rozwoju paschy nowotestamentowej: poczynając od paschy żydowskiej (starotestamentowej), następnie judeochrześcijańskiej czasów apostolskich, do dzisiejszej znanej w chrześcijaństwie prawosławnym, dostrzega się wzajemne powiązania i wpływ tych wydarzeń na obecną tradycję paschalną chrześcijaństwa wschodniego. Ewolucja święta Paschy i Wielkiego Postu odbywała się w ścisłym powiązaniu z Eucharystią, która stanowi najważniejszy moment celebracji świadomości paschalnej wiernych.

Печско-мохачский епископ Никанор (Мелентиевич) как автор службы сербскому деспоту Иоанну Бранковичу

Author(s): Sergey Yurievich Temchin / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2014

Обычно считается, что церковнославянская служба сербскому деспоту Иоанну Бранковичу († 1502) создана на Фрушкой-Горе (Воеводина) анонимным монахом Крушедольского монастыря в 1708–1714 гг. (традиционная точка зрения) либо во второй половине XVI в. (современный взгляд). В статье показано, что два перекрестных канона Службы содержат единый акростих (до сих пор не замеченный) с авторской подписью. Есть основания считать, что Служба составлена Никанором (Мелентиевичем), сербским епископом Печа и Мохача (южная Венгрия), во время его пребывания в монастыре Язак (Фрушка-Гора) в 1711–1713 гг.

The persecution of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in the opinion of the inhabitants of Pokuttia in the Western Ukraine

Author(s): Roman Kordonski / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2015

The Church structure of the UGKC was conserved due to secret consecrationsof bishops and ordinations of priests. Between 1945 and 1989 altogether20 bishops, of which five were titular bishops, were consecrated. Titular bishopshad the right of succession in the case that a titular bishop should die orbe arrested. All underground bishops were persecuted by the soviet state. Sevenof them, experienced soviet labor camps in 1940–1950 and five of the bishopswere repeatedly arrested and imprisoned within the years 1950–197028.The opportunities of Episcopal ministry were extremely limited and confinedas a rule to the administration of the priestly ordination. The new priestswho were ordained by an underground bishop, were distinguished by a selfsacrificein their pastoral work. The very presence of the bishops and theemergence of a young clergy gave a vivid evidence of the stability of the faith29.Numerous works of contemporary scholars clarify the plan of liquidationof the UGKC. The UGKC only did not want to be dependent of soviet authorities,as it happened with the Russian Orthodox Church, but it also was underthe jurisdiction of the Vatican, which condemned the communist ideologyand the state policy of the USSR. For the liquidation of the church one used analmost religious script (scenario) – through a Church Council.

Forme ale organizării vieții monahale și ale misiunii mănăstirii promovate de Sfântul Nil Sorski

Author(s): Alexandru Cuțchi / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2015

Saint Nil Sorski appears, probably, like that the most important figure in systematic promotion of learning and practicing contemplative silence in medieval Russian spiritual tradition. Saint Nil brought to Russia from Mount Athos the practice of life in smaller communities(lifestyle of sketes), causing a high hesychast current in the spirit of total monastic poverty (the movement of non-possessors) and of the monks’non-engagement in social and political life. He saw in this new form of monastic life (intermediate between cenobitism and heremitism) the chance of a more solitary life in which monks could more fully respect their religious vows, avoiding the temptation of materialism which monasteries that owned properties were exposed to. The works of this great teacher ofRussian monasticism give in detail also a theory of moral perfection, onwhich “the great prior” wanted to rebuild the Russian monastic life.

Misiunea Bisericii Ortodoxe în contextul disputei isihaste și în contemporaneitate

Author(s): Lorela Tudor / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2015

The famous hesychast controversy has an extremely important role in nowadays life of the Church, that is, to bring to our attention practical missionary modalities modeled after the Palamite one. The 14th century has represented, for the history of the Church and of theology, the confrontationbetween the Byzantine doctrine and the Latin thought. It is necessary tohave the most through and correct understanding of the so-called ‘Palamite theology’ and of the essence of the philosophical thinking of then and now,in order to maintain a genuine and spiritually prolific dialogue between the Church and the modern world. The conflict between the mystical dimension(the theoria) and the rationalist, intellectualist, one is more visible and stronger than ever. The secularism is a historical and actual fact that cannot be denied. We consider that the writings of Saint Gregory Palamas,under the form of sermons, homilies and letters, in answer to the attacks against the Athonite hesychast tradition coming from some rationalists and philosophers, can represent a source of inspiration for the Orthodox Churchin the contemporary missionary-pastoral and dialogic-ecumenical context.

Ruská pravoslavná církev a její vztahy se státem v době patriarchátu patriarchy Alexije II

Author(s): Vladimír Naxera,Maria Avanesova / Language(s): Czech Issue: 3/2016

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Orthodox Church and its social standing have gone through a significant transformation. This institution, which was formerly subject to the communist regime, quickly became a strong social force and to a large degree a political power under the leadership of Patriarch Alexy II. Over the course of his office, the relationship between the Church and the Russian state apparatus went through pronounced changes. The main goal of this paper was to analyze the transformation from the initial period, in which the state and Church operated as two relatively independent actors, to the period in which the state and the Church begin to work in close cooperation. These two institutions have become closely linked actors in a bond that is favorable to both parties. This state of affairs, historically labeled a “throne and altar alliance”, is nothing new to Russia. This paper was written with the help of a wide range of secondary and (mostly) primary sources – official Church documents, media appearances, and so on. This paper also introduces a number of topics: mutual relations of the state and Church after 1991; the transformation of the mutual relationship over the course of the 1990s and after President Putin’s election in 2000; the Church’s link to the armed forces and its role in the Chechen conflicts; and the influence of the Church on building the new identity of post-Soviet Russia. The authors of this paper have endeavored to prove that without considering the political and social role of the Church, the analysis of political processes in post-Soviet Russia would be wholly incomplete.

Lectio divina in viata ascetica. Exemplificari din scrierile Sfantului Isaac Sirul

Author(s): Ioan Mihoc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 01-03/2016

Saint Isaac of Syria considers the books of the Bible as Holy Scriptures and rightfully refers to their divine meanings that may be gracefully understood by those enhanced with the “inner person”. Thus, for Saint Isaac, lectio divina means the four elements that actually mark spiritual progression towards eternity: from reading, going through meditation and prayer (“conversation with the Scriptures”) and ending with spiritual contemplation of realities presented/described in the Scriptures

Eclesiologia Conciliului II Vatican si implicatiile asupra misiunii

Author(s): Marius Florescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 04-06/2016

The Vatican Council II, whose solemn recess by Pope Paul VI celebrated last year 50 years, marks the entrance of the Roman-Catholic Church in the modern world. For the first time in its history, it merely admits that it is time for the ancient Church built in Rome to come under new patterns. The texts mentioned represent a first notification, solemn and grave, of this state of fact. In his opening speech, Pope John Paul XXIII had launched to the participants the challenge of expressing, through new words, the permanent truth of the Gospel: “One thing is the thesaurus of believing, another is the shape under which such truths are expressed”.
