Patriotism & War - Metropolitan Philaret of New York

Excerpt from "On the Law of God"
Comment Share Share Tweet Email Print

Naturally, one will love one's own family and the relatives he grew up with, most of all, and secondly, the whole country, the people to which one belongs. One is tied to this people both by state and civil obligations and by culture and customs. One is bound to one's people, to one's own homeland, and one loves them. This love for homeland is that Christian patriotism which cosmopolitanists so strongly...

Τι μου έκανε εντύπωση στον Γέροντα Εφραίμ Αριζόνας - π. Πέτρος Χιρς

Translation: What Made An Impression On Me In Elder Ephraim of Arizona - Fr. Peter Heers
Comment Share Share Tweet Email Print

Μου έκανε εντύπωση πως μιλούσε, πως προσευχόταν... Η αγιότητα του φαινόταν στην κάθε κίνηση του.

Είδα έναν άνθρωπο που είχε κυριέψει τα πάθη του, έναν άνθρωπο ελεύθερο εν Χριστώ.

Ένας άνθρωπος που ήταν μέσα στην χαρά της Αναστάσεως, μέσα στην αιώνια Αγάπη του Θεού. π.

Πέτρος Χιρς για τον Μακαριστό Γέροντα Εφραίμ Αριζόνας

Becoming a member of the Body before communing of the Body

+ St. Theophylact of Bulgaria
Comment Share Share Tweet Email Print

In agreement with the Patristic Patrum, St. Theophylact of Bulgaria offers us a brightly shinning spiritual gem in his sacred Commentary on the Gospel of St. John that easily refutes the modern-day innovative heresy that claims the Heterodox are members of the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church and therefore can commune of the Divine and Life-giving Eucharist in the Orthodox Church.

I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But A Sword

- Archbishop Averky of Jordanville
Comment Share Share Tweet Email Print

Archbishop Averky speaks to our times in the context of a frequently neglected saying of Christ. His peace is not the peace of the world, His truth both unites and divides. As he said to His disciples after his tough sayings led many to leave Him: “Do you also want to go away?” Let us respond like the Apostle Peter, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

Worse to fear something more than God

- St. Gregory the Theologian
Comment Share Share Tweet Email Print

These words of St. Gregory the Theologian are so instructive for us today and will serve as a continual reminder and inspiration for Orthodox Christians struggling to fight the good fight along the narrow path that leads to Life in a world with the apparent rise of Totalitarianism that is paving the way for Antichrist. Wisdom! Let us be attentive!

About the Editor of Orthodox Ethos

The Managing Editor of Orthodox Ethos is John Coffman.

Born on his family farm in Central Illinois, John always had an interest in Scripture, theology, and history which God used to lead him to Holy Orthodoxy. He was baptized into the Body of Christ at Holy Cross Antiochian Orthodox Church in Yakima, Washington, in 2010. After some years he was asked by several clergy to enter into the Antiochian House of Studies, at which his projects focused on catechetical work, culminating in a catechetical analysis of the Wisdom of Sirach in the form of daily readings during Great Lent. After spending about a year of struggle at St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery in Arizona and Philotheou Monastery on Mt. Athos, he received a blessing to return to the world, marry and finish his Master’s work by writing a thesis entitled: Orthodox Catechism in a Neo-Pagan World: Catechizing Today’s Idolatrous World Following the Example of our Holy Fathers. The text is soon to be published by the Antiochian House of Studies Press. In October of 2020, John became the Assistant General Manager at Uncut Mountain Press. Shortly thereafter he became a senior editor at The Orthodox Ethos. He is now tasked with the launch of the new Uncut Mountain Press website and book releases, while also developing, editing and publishing articles based upon or by the saints, elders, and ascetics of our time for the benefit and upbuilding of the faithful.
