The 41st Issue of Russkiy Pastyr is Out
The 41st Issue of the Orthodox pastoral journal of the alumni
of Holy Trinity Seminary, Russkiy Pastyr, has been published.
The Letter from the Editor is devoted to the Orthodox family.
The “Sermon” section includes a series of short homilies
of Protopriest Seraphim Slobodskoy, the author of the renowned
book “Law of God.”
The section “Towards a History of the Russian Church in
the 20th Century” is an article by the St. Petersburg historian
V. Antonov: “Kronstadt Reprisal,” while “Pastoral
Theology” continues the series of articles of Protopriest
Eugene Popov (from his “Letters on Orthodox Pastoral Theology”
of 1877): “The Obervance of Liturgical Days.” Of special
interest is a conversation with the rector of the Church of
the Resurrection of Christ in Medon (France), Protopriest Michael
Artzimovich. Fr. Michael remembers the past and is not afraid
to speak on the vital topics of church life.
An article by Archbishop Seraphim (Dulgov), who is retired and
living at Lesna Convent in France, treats the question of the
translation of liturgical texts. Vladyka Seraphim proposes a
“third option,” preserving Church Slavonic while updating
certain outdated terms.
The section on “Divine Services” contains two items:
one, by Protopriest Paul Kalinovich, deals with the meaning
and genesis of the prayer of release, and the second covers
the European decrees of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco
the Miracle-worker.
Church choir directors and singers will find especially valuable
the publication of four conversations on church singing by the
director of the Cathedral of SS Peter and Paul in Mink, Irina
Denisova.
The “Orthodox World-view” section has the lecture
of Protopriest Peter Perekrestov given at the 10th All-diaspora
Conference of Russian Orthodox Youth in Australia: “’Where
Two or Three are Gathered in My Name’ and Our Future.”
A new section is introduced in Russkiy Pastyr No. 41, titled
“Kladez,” or The Well. This section will offer the
reader excerpts from archived letters and books, articles and
memoirs; anything that might be of interest and which forms
a living tradition of sorts. Issue No. 41 includes the following
materials:
A letter by Protopresbyter Michael Pomazansky on the theology
of Metropolitan Anthony, a letter by Metropolitan Seraphim on
serving Russia and four published items by Bishop Mitrofan (Znosko-Borovsky):
“Sermon on the Honoring of Protopresbyter Michael Pomazansky,”
“Greeting to Metropolitan Philaret,” “Essence
of Metropolitan Evlogii’s book ‘Path of My Life,’”
and Bishop Mitrofan’s memoirs on the meeting of Metropolitans
Anthony and Evlogii in Belgrade in 1934.
As always, the journal concludes with letters to the editor.
The price of the latest issue, including postage, is US $10.00
(1-year subscription, two issues: $20.00). Russkiy Pastyr may
