Monk Maximos (Constas) on Saint Maximos the Confessor and the Philokalia
Monk Maximos (Constas), Athonite, patrologist, and former Harvard Professor, is interviewed about the life and teachings of his patron saint: St. Maximos the Confessor. St. Maximos Confessor lived and taught in the 7th century, and his contribution to the promotion of Holy Orthodoxy is virtually unmatched. Fr. Maximos, the premier Maximos scholar in the contemporary Orthodox world, has recently completed the first-ever complete English translation of St. Maximos' Ambigua. The Ambigua, an effort by St. Maximos to interpret some 70 difficult passages in the writing of St. Gregory the Theologian, is perhaps the most difficult patristic text to translate and interpret. The Ambigua is published by Harvard University Press, and is available for less than $30 a volume.
Gay and Christian? Forging a Life of Integrity
An Interview with Christian Theologian and Spiritual Struggler Dr. Wesley Hill
Dr. Hill, an Anglican Theologian and currently the Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA, has been a conscientious Christian believer since childhood, and has violently struggled at the same time with persistent and re-orientation resistant same-sex erotic attraction. From the depths of this cross-bearing Dr. Hill offers his reflections on Christian faithfulness and homosexuality. In the midst of the atrocious onslaught of homosexual propaganda in the West, and the Christian reaction against such, it is particularly valuable to hear from faithful and articulate Christians who are afflicted with the objective disorder of same-sex erotic attraction yet have not allowed such attraction to dethrone Jesus Christ in their lives. You will find this to be an edifying interview.
An Impatient Patience: Achieving Orthodox Unity and Canonical Normalization in the West
An Interview with Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) on the Orthodox Assemblies of Bishops
Four years ago, in June of 2009, something momentous took place in World Orthodoxy. At the invitation of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, delegates from the fourteen Autocephalous Orthodox Churches participated in the historic Fourth Pre-Conciliar Pan-Orthodox Conference, meeting at the Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Chambésy-Geneva, Switzerland. They expressed their “desire for the swift healing of every canonical anomaly that has arisen from historical circumstances and pastoral requirements, such as in the so-called Orthodox Diaspora, with a view to overcoming every possible influence that is foreign to Orthodox ecclesiology.”
This ecumenical decision translated quickly into the establishment of Episcopal Assemblies of Orthodox Bishops in 12 locations throughout the world in historically non-Orthodox lands. Here in America the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops is set to convene for its fourth annual meeting in just a week or so in Chicago, Sept. 17th- 19th, 2013.
What exactly are the bishops doing? What is being accomplished? and what is the purpose and intent of these Assemblies throughout the West?
In this extensive 30-minute interview produced by Patristic Nectar Films the internationally acclaimed Orthodox theologian Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) addresses just these questions to provide a context to understand the movement of the Holy Spirit in these assemblies today.
