BOOK REVIEW

PHRONEMA_ Volume 3, 1988

P hronema is the official annual review of St. Andrew's

Theological College. It is a forum for the staff of the college (and others) to discuss important theological issues. It is vital

to the life of the college and the advancement of the staff that this forum be used to discuss, academically, issues at the forefront of Theological thought in the world today. In fact the material published in a journal like Phronema is a very good measure of the academic "health" of the institution that publishes the journal.

The third volume of Phronema shows that S1. Andrew's is indeed both "healthy" and growing in stature. There· are six major contributions in the form of articles and several reviews of books including an Essay review of P. Sherrard's book - "The Rape of Man and Nature; An Enquiry into the Origins and Consequences of Modern Science':

The first article is another of the erudite offerings of our Archbishop and Dean of the College, His Eminence, Stylianos. The title - Dangers of Idealism in Theology and Spirituality. It in fact was the text of the Annual John Henry Newman Lecture, which His Eminence delivered at Mannix College, the University of Melbourne on 30/9/88. The main thrust of the article being that Theology is always faced with two major dangers - materialism and idealism - and that of the two idealism the most difficult with which to deal.

The second article deals with the vexing question of Christian morality - looking at the subject from an Orthodox perspective. The author, Professor Georgios Mantzaridis, is the Professor of Ethics and Sociology of Christianity in the Faculty of Theology, University of Thessalonika. Prof. Mantzaridis places before us a model of how the Orthodox Church has and continues to deal with the various Socio-ethical problems that beset the Church from age to age.

In another offering from an overseas author, the article by Professor pimitri Conomos (Professor of Historical Musicology at the University of British Columbia in Canada), we learn something of Mount Athas: its Significance in the Musical tradition of Byzantium.

The Sub-dean of the College, the Rev'd. Deacon Dr John Chryssavgis, in his article Sources of Patristic Theology, offers us a methodology with which we can study the Fathers of the Church in a systematic manner. It is vital in the study of any subject that we understand the methods used by the authors - particularly when studying a subject as seminal as Patristic Theology.

The article by monk Themistocles Adamopoulo, lecturer in Biblical Studies at the college, underlines the fact that he has been studying for the last few years at the "cutting edge" of Biblical Studies in the U.S.A. His article examines the exegetical methods of a group of Gnostic thinkers of the early Church, with respect to the "Johannine Prologue':

Many of you will, if you have continued to read this review, think - this sounds too academic and "dry" for me. I make no apologies for saying that Phronema is an academic journal. It is not intended to be a "popular" journal of religion - it is, as stated above - a forum for the discussion of Theology; a place where we, the Church, can examine in detail aspects of our Faith, not for its destruction but for the growth in standing of our College and for our own growth in Faith. Phronema is available from 81. Andrew's for $15. I would urge you to purchase a copy and read it. One of the title of Our Lord was Rabbi (Teacher) - we hope and pray that Phronema is one way that we as a Theological College can fulfil that task within the Body of Christ.

Fr. Paul Connors

r~ ~ V Litur: Cal ~:f1ec~:ns ~- ~ ( ('''''';fty days (7x7+1) after Pascha, the Church celebrates J Pentecost which literally means "the fiftieth day': The

~ number "7" represents the time of the world - the

way in which God created time but humanity spoiled it. This time is fulfilled and transformed in Paschal time when Bright Week IS counted as but one day. Pentecost indicates the

~ experience of that new time, of the new life.

The day of pentecost is not simply a commemoration of the descent of the Holy Spirit. It is primarily a three-fold

~ celebration:

Firstly, it is a celebration of the end of Pascha as the manifestation and gift of wholeness wherein we realise our

~ own resurrection. There is no icon of the Resurrection of Christ because it is a reality experienced personally in baptism. All this "ends" in as much as the Church, being In the world but not of the world, must become a witness of this resurrection

~ to the world. And the very basis of such a mission is the Resurrection of Christ (cf. I Cor. 15: 14) - the aim of the Church is not to improve the world but to proclaim life to the world.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~

Secondly, it is a celebration of the social "menslon of the Church. In the book of Acts, the disciples are all together. Pentecost is not the birth-day of the Church, as if it did not previously exist; for it is implied in the act of creation itself. In any case, the Spirit descends on the disciples who had already gathered together as Church in order to elect Matthias. Pentecost rather is the revelation of the Church as it is now left in the world to witness to a reality beyond this world. The disciples testify to the "other-worldliness" of the Church, or perhaps more correctly to the double nature of the Church which is both divine and human. This is why we kneel and rise, and again kneel and rise dyring the prayers read on the day of Pentecost. We know that this world will always be in conflict, or at least in tension with the Kingdom.

Thirdly, it is a celebration of the Holy Spirit In a very unique way, the third person of the Holy Trinity is revealed to the Church, not as some divine power or grace but rather as One that is personally known. There is an "I - Thou" relationship with the Holy Spirit and, indeed according to St. Seraphim of Sarov, our purpose in life is to acquire the Spirit. What makes the Church beautiful is the Spirit that allows us to participate in the light and life that is God. However, just as there is no icon of God the Father except Christ, His Son, so also there is no icon of the Spirit - for we are, all of us, images of the Spirit. This Holy Spirit transcends the "mechanical': breaks through the "masses" and transforms everything and everyone.

Fr. J. C. 77

THE INSTITUTIONS

,.....4 uthoritative newspapers in Athens reported that ~, ~t a recent elections policy speech at Kozani the

faltering then Prime Minister Mr A. Papandreou dared make the following incredible declaration: "There exists absolutely no institution in this country. Only the people exist .•

Now since during the eight years of government under Mr A. Papandreou admittedly no attention at all was paid even to the most sacred institutions of the Greek people, while on the contrary every effort was made for their tearing into tatters and their abolition, we have no reason to doubt that such is indeed the conviction of the Leader of PASOK concerning the institutions. We characterised the statement as "incredible'; because one would not expect that Mr Papandreou would dare promulgate also theorectically the otherwise leveling program of his movement ''for the salvation of the nation': Yet it seems that even this impudence is included in the context of "bravery'; as understood by the propagandists of what is called euphemistically the socialism of the "green guards':

Such disrespect and insolence for the institutions shown by the first citizen of the country could not possibly be endured by the Greek people without any protest. As a result some sporadic criticisms were reported in the daily and periodical Press of Greece. But since the great matters of a people must not be encountered "on the knee'; namely with a 'yes" or with a "no'; as if it was a matter of completing a Pro­po form, we considered it our duty to expound here certain relevant thoughts in a somewhat more systematic manner, always with the intention of informing and edifying our people beyond any disposition of political revenge.

First of all, with the strictness of an axiomatic statement it should be said that the institutions of a people in general are not mere habits and customs that have prevailed by chance or symptomatic coincidences. They are rather conscious or conscientious critical options which betray not only the vigilance and the sense of responsibility, but above all the ingenuity, the sensitivity and the general cultural level of the people who make the institutions.

If one were to open the Great Lexicon of the Greek Language by H. Liddell and R. Scott and read the direct and derivative meanings of the Greek word for "institution'; one would be surprised to see how many areas of public and spiritual life are contracted in this Key-term for our civilisation in general. By way of indication it is sufficient to remind that two of the most popul~ deities of the ancient Greeks, that represented and protected at the same time the most essential functions for the biological and cultural life of the people, had as their characteristic epithet the word "protector of the institutions': We mean Demetra, the goddess of agriculture, and ApoUon, the god of music and of light.

Is it perhaps accidental that, out of the entire pantheon of Olympus, the Greeks ascribed the epithet "protector of the institutions" only to these two goddesses? For a people 78

By Archbishop Stylianos

with the sensitivity and culture of the ancient Greeks nothing was established accidentally. On the contrary, everything presupposed a deep insight into the nature of beings and of events, and therefore the names also were always absolutely justified; we could say that names were one-word conclusions! It seems, therefore, that since these two gods - Demetra and Apollon - protected whatever most valuable man has in the present world, namely the body of the earth, from which he originates, and the light of the sun, towards which he continually looks, the Greeks gave to these gods alone the characteristic epithet "supporter of the institutions': Our ancient predecessors founded all their institutions on the earth and the sacredness of the country earth on the one hand, and on the light and the music inspired by the light on the other. Anyhow, we should not forget the platonic saying "God always surveys the earth'; nor again the more popular watchword "create music and work"!

Thus were created the institutions of the Country, of the Family, of Religion, of Justice, of Education, and of the State in general. Even only after this brief and gross enumeration of the most significant institutions, it surely becomes evident that it is not a matter of fleeting fabrications that in the form of "fashion" serve the continually changing "tastes" of the leading or other citizens from time to time' but we are talking here about more general and mor~ permanent values, sanctified by time and by the moral conscience of people - values which, for this reason, transcend time and the individual. The sum total, therefore, of the institutions of a people is that which we call in one word rrtradihod~

Now the discipline and the moral order implied by tradition is based mainly on two spiritual powers: memory, which binds us with the approved past history, and judgement, which guarantees for us the secure bearing point of direction in life, when with the security of the known we test the value and the endurance of the unknown. It is for this reason that the British people, a people of tradition par excellence, relate succession to success, indicating by the common etymological root of these two crucial words their steadfast conviction that success is guaranteed only when 1 one remains within the limits of tradition with a prudent and U responsible succession.

After all that has been said so far, the conclusion easily fl comes that to the extent that a person can break the biological U chain and identity that binds him with his predecessors, on account of his chromosomes, so far can a people radically '1 break his bonds with the past, namely his culture and his LJ history, on account of his institutions. For this reason Seferis. wonderfully expresses the value and the sacredness of these bonds, when he defines tradition as '~ boundless solidarity J of the Jiving and of the departed': Perhaps it could be more correct to say that the life of the present world is governed - invisibly but decisively - by those that have departed J rather than those that are alive.

In any case, irrespective of the order of the powers and

r r r. r.

their precedence in this "continuity" of generations, it is clear that the notions tradition and succession - one implying the other - do not cover the r~ponsibility of the present time only in relation to the past, but equally, if not more, extend also to the responsibility in relation to the future. Again well known is the Anglo-saxon saying, according to which "we have not inherited the world from our forefathers, but rather we have borrowed it from our descendants':

Now if such is the significance of the institutions in general, when they come from long centuries of the national or cultural past - even if it be of clearly human authority - one understands how vastly more sacred is the authority of the institutions, whose origin is from above, that is from Divine Revelation. Such is precisely the case in the crucial dogmatico-canonical institutions of the Church of the Orthodox Greek people. These institutions are of vast sacredness precisely because they draw their origin and direction not from human expediencies but from the Holy Spirit Himself. For this reason the Church rightly confesses

this fundamental dependence with the well known troparion "The Holy Spirit grants all things ... and holds together the whole institution of the Church ': Now whether this sacred dimension of the institutions of the Church is of concern to Mr A. Papandreou, this surely is known only by him. Yet it should be of concern to him even in an elementary way, since he not only became the Prime Minister of an Orthodox nation, but is also the grandson of a priest!

After all the above, the statement by a leader, the first citizen of a civilised Country, that there exist no institutions, but only the people, means nat only barbarism but also demagogy to the point of cruelty. Because a people without institutions is no longer a constituted and well governed multitude, but a fickle herd of unreasonable beings that is guided only by its blind instincts. Of course such an irresponsible multitude is perhaps more desirable to a leader who would wish to dominate it unconditionally, but it is no longer to be found today - fortunately - even among the most backward races of the earth.

BOOK REVIEW

Archbishop Paul of Finland, Feast of Faith, St Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1988, 112 pages.

Anyone that has read and reread and recommended Archbishop PaUl's popular explanation of Orthodoxy in The Faith We Hoki is most pleased to hear of his most recent publication that Introduces and guides one into the Divine Liturgy of SI. John Chrysostom.

Written simply and out of pastoral concern, this book addresses the heart of Orthodox doctrine and worship, namely the liturgy. The various chapters originally conslltuted talks to Archbishop Paul's own flock In Finland where he led the active Orthodox Church from 1969 to 1967 when he retired.

After the thorough and systematic analysis of the Jlturgicailife of the Church expounded for many years and In numerous works by the late Fr. Alexander Schmemann (Introduction to LHurgk:a1 Theology, For the Ln. of the Wortd, The Eucharist), what was required was a step by step exposition of the various gestures, words and symbols contained in the liturgy. A brief introduction to the significance of the eucharist is followed by eight short chapters covering the fundamental parts of the liturgy with which most Christians are very familiar yet tragically unaware of as far as meaning. The book also includes sections on pracllcal matters such as the sign of the cross, the blessing of the priest, the lighting of candies and partIcipation for the communIon. These themes are discussed in a caring and sensitive manner, and the approach is clearly that of a loving pastor. Furthermore, the book is filled with direct quotations from the liturgy, and so the reader Is easily able to follow the rhythm without being lost In a maze of theological Jargon.

In an age when theologians often speak in a language Inaccessible to the average lay person and faithful member of the congregation, Archbishop Paul's publication comes as a pleasant surprise, almost as a refreshing splash of water that can satisfy the student of theology as well as offer nourishment to the people to whom Christ said : "Take 08t, ... and tako drink of this all you'~

SIXTH SUNDAY OF MATTHEW (Mat. 9: 1 - 8)

As in the case of other miracles performed by Jesus

Christ during His life and mission on earth, likewise in the miracle of the curing of the paralytic, people

were divided into two categories, depending on their stand and reaction before the miracle-working power of the God­Man Jesus, On the one hand there is the categor.y at the people of goodwill, who constitute the multitude, when not influenced by the skillful and cunning ones, This category of people raise a voice of praise and doxology before the Creator "who does great and wonderful deeds, both glorious and transcendent': Thus St Matthew the Evangelist writes: "When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they g!orified God, who had given such authority to men" (Mat. 9 : 8), Yet, on the other hand, we have the second group of people who, while they witness the miracle, "think evil in the!r hearts" (Mat. 9: 4), For this type of people St Matthew the Evangelist again writes: "Some of the scribes said to themselves, 'This man is blaspheming' "(Mat. 9 : 3), Whereas the first category, the crowds, "marveled, saying, 'Never was anything like this seen in Israel' " (Mat. 9 : 33), the Pharisees said: "He casts out demons by the prince of demons" (Mat. 9 : 34) ,

Thus, unfortunately, continues the "division" (John 7 : 43) among people concerning the person and the task of Jesus Christ. Let us briefly see how the people of our times risk, if not careful, falling into the same sin of slandering and blaspheming against Jesus, just as the second group of people did as already mentioned, First, this kind of slandering and blaspheming continues to this day, when there are people that deny the divinity of Christ. Christ performed and still performs miracles even today and to the ages ( cf, Heb, 13 : 8) as the God-Man Who looks to the restoration of the whole man, not merely to the satiSfaction of man's psychological needs, with the miracle, It constitutes, therefore, a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, when one denies the theandric character of Jesus Chirst that is the most fundamental truth for our salvation (Acts 4 : 12), Second, when the name of God is slandered and blasphemed for us (Rom, 2 : 24), it follows that the Church, as the Body of Christ, is also slandered and blasphemed, In other words, when we say that we are members of the Church, but at the same time live in sin in our daily life, then surely the Church, is also blasphemed together with Christ. Furthermore, the Church is gain blasphemed, when we separate theory from practice, faith from one's life, The Church is blasphemed when its members believe in theory, but do not apply their faith in their daily life or when they only do social work, while they forget their destiny as christians,

At this pOint, a clarification is needed: when we say that the Church is slandered and the name of Christ is blasphemed, this surely does not mean that the divinity of Christ or the nature of the Church as such suffer at all , Christ as God's Son is always Lord and King, and the Church as Christ's Body and as communion of saints always radiates despite the fact that sin exists in the world, Yet Christ's work and the Church's mission among people is prevented,

It constitutes an exceptional blessing for one to know '~he only true God" and Jesus Christ (John 17 : 3), and to select '~he good portion, that shall not be taken away" (Luke 10 : 42), And one will attain this good with the Grace of the Holy Spirit, having rid himself of the sin of slandering and blaspheming against Christ and the Church, through sincere repentance.
