Two words on Pentecost with pastors of St. Tikhon's

Archimandrite Sergius (Bowyer), Abp. Michael (Dahulich)

This great feast of Pentecost is an inseparable continuation of the Lord’s Cross and Resurrection and Ascension to the right hand of the Father, in which the Holy Spirit is poured out upon the Church, recalling to mind the words of our Savior, and guiding our steps towards perfection in Christ. On this great feast we offer the words of two inspiring voices from St. Tikhon’s Monastery and Seminary in South Canaan, PA—those of Archimandrite Sergius, the abbot of St. Tikhon’s Monastery, and of Abp. Michael (Dahulich) of New York and New Jersey, rector and professor at St. Tikhon’s Seminary.

Life and Death

A talk with Fr. Alexei Timakov, a priest and emergency room doctor

Nikita Filatov, Priest Alexei Timakov

Priest Alexei Timakov is doctor by profession who has worked in both intensive care units and the emergency room for many years. What kind of experience does one have seeing people die and return to life every day? What happens after life? And how should we prepare ourselves for death, or, to be more exact, for eternal and true life? Our talk with Priest Alexei will be precisely on this theme.

Metropolitan Gabriel: “We decided not to go to Crete independently and according to conscience”

Daria Zacharieva, Metropolitan Gabriel of Lovech

June 1, 2016 the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church decided not to take part in the “Holy and Great Council” on Crete. The liberal Bulgarian media saw in it “the hand of Moscow.” Metropolitan Gabriel (Dinev) of Lochev reflects on what dogmatic considerations stood behind their decision and why it could not have been made under Moscow influence, how Bulgarians relate to Russians and Greeks, why the Bulgarians agreed at the preliminary meetings to the principle of consensus for making decisions, and how to relate to the World Council of Churches and ecumenism.

Message of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill to Primates and representatives of Local Orthodox Churches who have assembled in Crete

His Holiness Patriarch Kirill

It is my profound conviction that the Churches, both those who have decided to go to Crete and those who have refrained from it, made their decisions in good conscience, and for this reason we must respect the position of each of them.
