The minister of Holy Orders is the bishop who has the power to ordain men as deacons, priests, or fellow bishops. This sacrament is usually celebrated during a Sunday Mass where the essential rite is the laying on of hands by the bishop. To receive Holy Orders, one must be a baptized male of good character, have an inner and outer calling to the priesthood, be of the proper age and commitment to lifelong celibacy (except for deacons).
The document is a presentation on the church. It provides biblical references to define the church as both a universal body of believers (Acts 2:37-38, 41, 47; 1 Cor 1:2) and local gatherings of believers (1 Thess 1:1). It discusses that the local church involves a local government of elders/overseers (Acts 14:23; Titus 1:5; Acts 20:17, 28; 1 Peter 5:1-3), maintains a treasury (Phil 4:15-16; 1 Cor 16:1-2; 2 Cor 11:7-9), engages in discipline (1 Cor 5:4-5; 2 Thess 3:6; 1
The document provides historical background on views of marriage from the Second to Fifth Centuries through Vatican II.

The document discusses the challenges facing families today from various societal influences and changes in cultural values. It notes both positive developments like greater awareness of human dignity and rights, as well as negative trends like rising divorces and a decline in openness to life. The Church aims to support families through pastoral care and by promoting traditional Christian values of love and service and the sanctity of marriage and family life.
The document provides readings and reflections for an upcoming Sunday, including a passage from Luke describing Jesus applying a scripture reading to himself to fulfill its meaning and bring justice, and notes on community events like a book discussion and calls for volunteers.
We might be ready to think that, if ever there was a minister of Jesus Christ who was raised above the need of his people s prayers, that minister was St. Paul. He was endowed, both by nature and by grace, beyond the measure of ordinary men. Whether as a man or as a servant of the Lord Jesus, he towers above the level of the common ranks, and from our distant point of view looks nearer and liker to his Master than any of his fellows.
Since this great and good Apostle did feel deeply his need of prayer, not only his own, but also the prayers of all saints on his behalf, so felt this great and constant and pressing need, that he turned with touching importunity from church to church and pleaded with them that they would pray for him and not forget him, is not this to proclaim in the most emphatic manner that, as necessity is laid on ministers to preach the gospel, even so necessity is laid upon the people to pray for their ministers to uphold and help them daily with their prayers ?

The Pope's speeches emphasized themes of unity, solidarity, caring for migrants, and working together for peace despite past conflicts and divisions.
The early church was divided on whether Gentile believers needed to be circumcised. Paul and Barnabas were sent to Jerusalem to discuss this with the apostles and elders. At a council, Peter argued that God had accepted Gentiles through faith alone, as shown by giving them the Holy Spirit, and they should not be burdened with Jewish laws. The council agreed and sent a letter to Gentile churches saying to abstain from idolatry, sexual immorality, meat from strangled animals, and blood, but not requiring circumcision. The churches were joyous about this encouraging message of acceptance.
Zygmunt Bauman argues that freedom is not a universal condition, but rather a social construct that benefits some over others. He makes three main points: 1) Freedom exists relationally, where some can only be free if others are not. 2) Capitalism influences modern freedoms by commoditizing labor and prioritizing consumer goods as status symbols. 3) Government policy ignores the needs of the underprivileged, entrenching inequality. While briefly offering communalism as an alternative, Bauman leaves open how to overcome capitalism's deep entrenchment in society and shift to a system with true public freedom.

Welfare aims to provide a desirable standard of living through meeting social, economic, health and recreational needs. Labor welfare is a part of social welfare and aims to promote worker well-being through facilities like health care, food, housing, education and job security. It operates to counteract the negative effects of industrialization and urbanization. Labor welfare practices in India include provisions for sanitation, rest, feeding, medical care, childcare and housing assistance.
The document discusses the role of medical social workers in hospitals. Key responsibilities of social workers include counseling patients and families, assisting with care planning and financial assistance, assessing patient needs, advocating for patients, and providing legal assistance. Social workers help patients deal with both the emotional components of illness like stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as social impacts such as isolation, loss of support systems, and inability to perform social roles. Overall, social workers aim to support patients' best interests and manage the socio-emotional consequences of illness.
Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal acts committed by minors. There are four major risk factors that contribute to juvenile crime: substance abuse, family issues, personal issues, and easy access to drugs. To prevent delinquency, a harmonious family environment, support and supervision from parents, and facilities/extracurricular activities at school are important. Curative efforts involve actions from police and legal authorities to address symptoms of delinquency, while empowering youth can prevent re-offending. Neglect, abandonment or abuse can push a child toward criminal acts despite their normal capacity for obedience and morality.
The document discusses juvenile delinquency, defining it as crimes committed by minors under the statutory age. A juvenile delinquent is a minor with major behavioral problems who violates the law. Some common forms of delinquent behavior mentioned include loitering, stealing, gambling, and sexual offenses. The causes of juvenile delinquency are said to include factors related to the family, peer group, neighborhood, and educational curriculum. Some ways to control juvenile delinquency proposed in the document include accepting delinquents, providing a variety of experiences, watching for signs of maladjustment, building a stable value system, and encouraging children to admit anti-social tendencies.
This document summarizes an unofficial conference that took place in 1918 between members of the Episcopal Church in America and the Metropolitan of Athens, Meletios Metaxakis, to discuss the possibility of unity between the Episcopal and Greek Orthodox Churches.

The document examines terms used in the creed like "the," "holy," and "Christian" as applied to the church.
In 1910 the Syrian Orthodox Bishop Raphael Permitted the Orthodox to Commune...Spyridon Voykalis
Bishop Raphael Hawaweeny initially accepted the ministrations of Anglican clergy in 1910 due to their assurances that Anglicanism was similar to Orthodoxy. However, after two years of close observation and study, he realized there were significant differences between Anglican doctrine and Orthodoxy. As a result, he resigned from the Anglican-Orthodox Churches Union in 1912 and issued a pastoral letter rescinding his previous permission for Orthodox Christians to receive sacraments from Anglican clergy, in order to protect his flock from being misled.
Part 11 notes the pouring of wine and waterZoran Bobic
The document discusses the symbolism behind pouring wine and water into the chalice during the Divine Liturgy. It states that the piercing of the bread and pouring of the wine and water into the chalice portray the piercing of Jesus' side and the outpouring of blood and water. It describes how the commingling of the wine and water symbolizes the union between Christ and the Church, and between Christ's divine and human natures. Finally, it discusses how removing the particle of bread called the "ahnets" from the loaf and placing it on the diskos symbolically represents Christ's birth and placement in the manger at Bethlehem.

The document summarizes the increased interactions between the Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches between 1914-1921. It describes visits by various Eastern Orthodox bishops and patriarchs to England during this period, including receptions with the Archbishop of Canterbury. It also outlines the formation of committees in both churches to improve relations and examples of cooperation between Anglican and Orthodox clergy in locations like the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Australia, Russia and more. This represented a significant step towards reunion between the churches.
The Sacrament of Holy Orders continues Christ's priesthood by ordaining men to serve the Church. There are three levels of ordination: deacon, priest, and bishop. Deacons serve the bishop and help those in need. Priests preach, celebrate the Eucharist, and serve the faithful. Bishops teach the faith and ordain new priests and bishops. Ordination imprints an indelible spiritual mark and configures the man to Christ the priest.
The Order of Melchisedech A Defence of the Catholic Priesthood, 2nd EditionWenuraRavindu
On 30 June 1968, pope Paul VI pronounced his Credo in which the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass "celebrated by the priest in the Person of Christ in virtue of the power he received in the Sacrament of Order" was very clearly, unambiguously, and correctly expressed. Twelve days earlier, Pope Paul VI had signed the Apostolic Constitution in which he approved and imposed the new ritual of the ordination of deacon, priest, and bishop. In this book the author examines the new rite of ordination to the priesthood and exposes its differences with the former one used in the Roman rite for a number of centuries, enjoying the highest authority.
There can be no doubt of the validity of the New Rite but there are certain features which the author deplores. A number of prayers and ceremonies have been suppressed which, in the Old Rite, served clearly to express the most essential character and duty of priesthood: to offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a sign of a tendency which can be observed in other official liturgical innovations (not to mention illegal ones). It is a matter of great concern for many Catholics that this and similar things are done at a time when the sacrificial character of what is now commonly called the "celebration of the Eucharist" is questioned or even denied by many who do not leave the Catholic Church.
Mr. Davies gives an impressive exposition of the facts and the meaning he attaches to them in the light of Trent, the Pontifical letter Apostolicae Curae of Pope Leo XIII, other official documents, and also the Canterbury Declaration on Ministry and Ordination in the Anglican and Catholic Churches. He rightly rejects the latter completely as a totally ambiguous document.
This is a rich and scholarly book which should be in the hands of all who study post-conciliar developments in the official Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Christ.

The Sacrament of Holy Orders continues Christ's priesthood by incorporating men into the priesthood at three levels: bishop, priest, or deacon. Bishops stand in direct succession from the Apostles and have the power to sanctify others and govern the Church. Priests assist bishops and have the power to celebrate the Eucharist. Deacons assist priests and bishops in their ministry. The Sacrament can only be validly conferred on baptized men, and it imprints an indelible spiritual mark that can only be received once for each level of ordination.
Chaplain's Report: That the World may Know New HopeJessie Somosierra
The document summarizes discussions from a meeting of Knights of Columbus state chaplains in Nashville. Key topics discussed were implementing initiatives to foster members' spiritual growth, building on the success of prior chaplain meetings, and emphasizing that the Knights' works stem from Catholic charity and should provide strong Christian witness. The Supreme Chaplain and Supreme Knight stressed that the K of C is well-positioned to advance the goals of the upcoming Synod of Bishops and Year of Faith by providing resources and authentic Christian witness.
Expositor's Bible, “I/ closing his letter to the Corinthians, Paul, as usual, explains his own movements, and adds a number of miscellaneous directions and salutations. These for the most part relate to matters of merely temporary interest, and call for no comment. Interest of a more
permanent kind unfortunately attaches to the collection for the poor Christians of Jerusalem which Paul invites the Corinthians to make. Several causes had contributed to this poverty ; and, among others, it is not improbable that the persecution promoted by Paul himself had an
important place. Many Christians were driven from their homes, and many more must have lost their means of earning a livelihood. But it is likely that Paul was anxious to relieve this poverty, not so much because it had been partly caused by himself as because he saw in it an opportunity
for bringing more closely together the two great parties in the Church.
St Ignatius of Antioch penned Epistles to the various Christian communities in Asia Minor, including some cities that received Epistles from St Paul. St Ignatius was writing these letters in a hurry while travelling to the City of Rome and his eventual martyrdom, he was fed to the lions in the Coliseum of Rome. He writes in a style similar to the New Testament Epistles, his Epistles read like prayers. One main reason why these writings are not included in the New Testament canon is because they were written in the second generation after the original apostles.
We discuss:
• St Ignatius discussions of slavery, marriage, prayer, Virgin Mary or Theotokos,
• How St Ignatius emphasizes “the authority of the clergy, the hatred of heresy and schism, and the glory of martyrdom.”
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Ephesians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Magnesians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Romans.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Philadelphians.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to the Smyrnaeans.
• St Ignatius’ Epistle to his fellow bishop, Polycarp.
• Challenges Bart Ehrman faced when translating Ignatius.

Pope Benedict XVI inaugurates a "Year for Priests" from 2009-2010 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Saint John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests. The Pope praises priests for their service and cites Saint John Vianney, who said "The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus." Saint John Vianney's example of total dedication to his parish through prayer and service inspires all priests to identify completely with their ministry.
This document discusses the importance of liturgical vestments and adornment of the church based on references in the Old Testament. It notes that Exodus provides detailed instructions for the tabernacle and priestly garments. While some argue Christian vestments originate from the Levitical dress, the document says a comparison shows this is not the case. It argues that the Old Testament represents a "fulfillment of types" that reached completion in Christ and the traditions of the early church. The beauty and liturgy of the Orthodox Church follows the essential patterns of the Old Testament, but looks different as a result of Christ's resurrection.

This document provides biographical information on three notable figures:
1) William Laud, the 17th century Archbishop of Canterbury, who advocated for greater ritualism in the Church of England and faced opposition from Puritans, ultimately being executed for treason in 1645.
2) George Herbert, a 17th century priest and poet who was elected to Parliament but later felt called to ministry, becoming a revered parish priest and writing the collection of poems "The Temple".
3) Charles Gore, a 19th/20th century theologian who helped make Anglo-Catholicism more mainstream and founded the religious community The Society of the Resurrection.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9
In 1865 the Serbian Church Permitted an Anglican to Commune of the Immaculate Mysteries
1. The Church of Serbia Permitted Anglicans to Commune in 1865
(The below article is taken from an Anglican source)
ORTHODOX PRECEDENT
Orthodox precedent for the admission of non‐Orthodox in destitution exists
as far back as the twelfth century, and was justified by the Orthodox canonist
Balsamon, but no precedent exists, so far as is known, for the public
admission for non‐Orthodox not in destitution. Neither the Patriarch nor the
Serbian Church is committed to any repetition of the action, nor is the
Orthodox Church as a whole, nor is the Anglican Church committed in any
way. But it has nevertheless no small importance. Evidently some of the
Orthodox in Belgrade were not very happy about it, fearing it might be
premature. The Politika said: ʺAlthough the manifestation of the relationship
made so beautifully among us at the cathedral was both touching and
praiseworthy, some people did not approve the action of the Patriarch
because the Anglicans are not in formal communion with us.ʺ
Frank Steel, an attaché of the British legation, who was one of the eight
communicants, writes a letter to the Church Times of which I give some
extracts:
ʺAs there is no English church or chaplain in Belgrade, a letter was sent to the
Patriarch, asking if he would permit us to make our communion at the
cathedral on Christmas Day. The Patriarch replied expressing his approval,
and personally administered the Sacrament to four Americans and four
English people, of whom I was one.ʺ
ʺI understand that no patriarch has ever officiated in this capacity before, but
His Holiness insisted on administering the Sacrament himself. I hear that a
large number of Orthodox priests have expressed their disapproval of His
Holinessʹ action, and the newspapers have given diverse views on the
matter.ʺ
It would be indeed interesting if Mr. Steel would give us some more details of
what must evidently have been a very wonderful experience.
A WAR PRECEDENT
Another letter has also been printed in the same journal from an English
country parson who was communicated by a Serb priest during the war:
2. ʺIt may be of interest to know that during the war, while I was stationed at
Salonika, I was admitted to the Sacrament of Holy Communion by the express
consent and with the utmost goodwill of the Serbian ecclesiastical authorities.
There could be no question of destitution in this case, for English chaplains
and services were well to the fore. I took it to be a grateful acknowledgement
of the kindly feelings between me and the Serbians under my command, and
who asked that I might communicate with them. I was not a chaplain.ʺ
This is indeed a remarkable letter. The sum total of the matter seems to be,
whatever the theological issues involved may be, that the Serbs like the
Americans and English and wish to share their religious experiences and
privileges with them.
INTERCOMMUNION SIXTY YEARS AGO
I am supposed to chronicle news in these letters, but perhaps I may be
pardoned for once if I delve down into the files of the Church Times as far back
as August, 1865, to find an occasion when a similar thing seems to have
happened in Belgrade. The following is quoted from a correspondent signed
W[illiam]. D[enton].
ʺWhen I mentioned in my former letter that I received communion in the
Serbian Church at the hands of the Archimandrite of Studenitza, I forgot at
the same time to point out the full significance of the act. The Archimandrite
was one of the ecclesiastics consulted by the Archbishop of Belgrade as to my
request for communion on Whitsunday, so that the administration was not
the act of an individual, however prominent his position, but was the
synodical act of the prelates and inferior clergy of Servia. I arrived at the
monastery of Studenitza on Monday. I left it on Wednesday, and on Thursday
I had another pleasant meeting with the Bishop of Tschatchat. I found that he
knew all about the proposed administration to me by the Archimandrite.
Leaving him, I had a few daysʹ travel in the interior of the country and met all
the leading ecclesiastics. Among others I had pleasure in meeting the
Archpriest of Jagodina, whose acquaintance I had made while he was a
resident of the monastery of Ruscavitza. I found on all sides the greatest
satisfaction at my communion, and I heard the strongest desire expressed for
closer intercourse with the English Church on the ground of its orthodoxy
and the prominent position given to scriptural teaching in its formularies.
ʺI had the pleasure of staying with the Bishop of Schabatz and the
opportunity of discussing with that able and large‐minded prelate the
question of intercommunion of the Churches of England and Servia. Referring
to my communion at Studenitza he hailed me as a member of the Orthodox
3. Church. But he did more than this. I was accompanied by an English layman
who intends to make a stay in Servia of at least two monthsʹ duration after my
leaving. I mentioned that as he was accustomed to communicate in the
English Church he was unwilling to be deprived of the same blessing whilst
in a strange land. The bishop at once declared that there was no hindrance to
his communicating in Servia, and at my request gave him a letter addressed
to all the clergy of his diocese, directing them to administer communion to
him, a member of the Church of England, if he desired to receive the sacred
mysteries.
ʺThere now remained the general question of the right of all members of the
English Church to communicate simply as members of the English Church,
and without any test beond that of their loyal membership in their own
branch of the Church Catholic: and your readers will be glad to know that on
the production of a simple certificate of real and living membership, settled
by the bishop and indicated to me, all such persons will from this time forth
be received as communicants of the Orthodox Church of Servia. And
intercommunion of one portion of the Orthodox Church cannot long precede
formal intercommunion with the whole Eastern Church. Here is real
intercommunion on the true Catholic basis, the beginning I trust of wider
communion. There is no doubt much to labor for, much to pray for, much
need of ʹpatience and confidenceʹ, but here surely is the darn and promise; in
part also to past prayers for unity, but especially may we, I trust, without
presumption, see an answer to His effectual prayer, who, in the night of His
betrayal, prayed ʹthat they all may [541/542] be one.ʹ Who shall despair and
say any longer that the unity of all Christian people is a mere dream, when in
the person of the English and Servian Churches, the distant East resumes her
intercourse with the separated West; and when what to most persons since
the Council of Florence has seemed unattainable, has been done without
human instruments by Him who in essence and attributes is One.ʺ
Church Times OPTIMISTIC
This is an extraordinarily optimistic letter almost implying that reunion
between the two churches was a fait accompli. But, whatever the rights and
wrongs of the facts, very little seems to have arisen from them. The following
is a portion of a leading article that appeared in the Church Times on August
26, 1865.
ʺThe Servian Church has entered into full communion with the Church of
England. This is the step to which we allude. The efforts of the ʹEastern
Church Associationʹ and especially the energy, perseverance, and personal
popularity in Servia of one of the first originators of that association have
4. induced the ancient Orthodox Church in Servia to admit privately to Holy
Communion, and to promise to admit to participation in the sacred mysteries
any traveler, whether priest or layman of the Anglican communion, who shall
bring with him certain letters commendatory, the form of which will be
arranged and agreed upon by the Servian episcopate. Thus we really at the
present moment are in communion with the whole Orthodox Church. For the
Servian Church is an Orthodox branch of the great Slavonic communion, and
is in full connection and communion with Constantinople. But the Servian
Church has recognized our baptism, our orders, and our position, and has
admitted our members into communion with herself: therefore now at last the
Anglican and Eastern Orthodox Church are as one. What shall we say? The
heart of every believer must burst into an irrepressible Te Deum at such a truly
Christian triumph.
ʺThe Servian Church which, perhaps, is little known to our readers as yet
except through certain charity‐breathing letters of its prelates, especially of
Archbishop Michael, will soon be a household word in our mouths. We are
bound to give the Servians the credit which is their due for their freedom of
spirit and their intelligent and far‐seeing charity. English Churchmen must
reciprocate this mighty act of Christian brotherhood by all the means that lie
within their power. The Eastern Church for a century past is a suffering
Church. The Church of autonomous Servia has emerged from the fiery trial of
persecution into a clear sky and a more peaceful dwelling place. English
Churchmen in future will find it impossible to side with the infidel and the
Mahometan against those with whom they have broken the Bread of Life and
shared the Cup of Immortality. They are and they must vividly realize that
they are one Church with them.ʺ
