Studies on Orthodox history, hesychasm, the Russian diaspora, ROCOR, the Philokalia, canonical ruptures, and the living transmission of Tradition.
Historical Map
Studies on the transmission of Orthodoxy through time: hesychasm, the Russian diaspora, ROCOR, the Philokalia, canonical ruptures, and continuity of Tradition.
A major Romanian episode of twentieth-century hesychasm, where culture, monasticism, and the prayer of the heart meet.
How a believer can recognise a canonical ROCOR parish in the UK — and why not every church calling itself the «Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia» is in communion with the Orthodox Church.
On the shelves of Orthodox bookshops today you can find several different Philokalias — in Greek, in Russian, in Romanian, in English. They are not identical. This article maps the living lines of transmission — from St. Paisius Velichkovsky at Neamț, through St. Theophan the Recluse, to Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae — and explains what each editor added, omitted, filtered, or restored, and why it matters for the reader today.
