Episode 6: “Discovering the Will of God”, Pt 3, Saint Silouan the Athonite, with Prof. C. Veniamin
Manage episode 384553101 series 3503535
Series: Mystical Theology
Unit 16: “Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites: Principles of the Christian Life”, by Prof. Christopher Veniamin
Episode 6: “Discovering the Will of God”, Part 3
Based on the reading of excerpts from St. Sophrony’s chapter, “The Staretz’ Doctrinal Teaching”, from his masterpiece, Saint Silouan the Athonite, this sixth episode will continue the discussion regarding the mystery of “Discovering the Will of God”, as presented by Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites, two of the greatest Orthodox figures of the 20th century. Dr. Christopher Veniamin is a spiritual child of St. Sophrony.
Themes covered include “prideful self-confidence”, St. Sophrony’s obedience, and the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great.
It is hoped that these presentations will help the enquirer discern the interwoven character of Orthodox theology and the Orthodox Christian life, and to identify the ascetic and pastoral significance of the Orthodox ethos.
Q&As related to Episode 6 available in The Professor’s Blog.
Recommended background reading: Saint Silouan the Athonite, by St. Sophrony the Athonite; and The Enlargement of the Heart, by Archimandrite Zacharias
