Statements
We are all trying to stand in anything, but not in Christ: in some dogmas, in some canons that seem absolute and immutable to us. Yes, all this nonsense! After all, these canons - they were adopted once, one and a half, two thousand years ago ... You cannot turn the Church into a ghetto with a medieval world outlook! ... and this joy should cover everything. This joy has always been in Christianity, this joy is present in the earliest Christianity. Look at the epistles of the apostle Paul. It would seem that the person who spoke most of all about the Lord’s Cross, who said that “we are preaching Christ crucified,” who spoke of suffering, of crucifixion to Christ, who said: “I died for this world, I have been crucified with Christ, and there is no Christianity without suffering. " Remember how he wrote about joy, remember how he wrote about love, remember how he wrote about light. He wrote: “Always rejoice, give thanks for everything”, because this is the main thing in Christianity. And it was always in Christianity, and it was always in genuine Christian saints, and if we are in Christianity, or in some of the so-called Christian saints, we see only severity, only austerity, only a feat, but we do not see this joy if they do not have this Easter light, so it’s not saints at all, it means it’s not Christianity. The church should not scare away young people with old-fashioned and, especially, obscurantism. A variety of church youth communities, movements and organizations, including those related to rock music, are possible. |
