The impact of the contemporary ecumenical movement on the life of the Church in the 20th century has been immense. Orthodox involvement has steadily increased over the years and is now generally accepted as a given. Still, many questions remain unanswered and unasked. How did the modern ecumenical movement begin? What were the causes, motivations, and reasons for its development? Why and how did the Orthodox first become involved? Did the movement for Christian unity begin with the 1920 encyclical “To the Churches of Christ Everywhere” and arise out of a search for “unity in truth” and doctrinal agreement, as is often maintained?
In this lecture, Fr. Peter Alban Heers, doctoral candidate at the School of Theology of the University of Thessaloniki, answers these questions, extensively citing authoritative sources of ecumenical history to bring us face-to-face with the historical record. The missionary movement of the 19th century, the YMCA and student movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the first World Mission Conference in Edinburgh in 1910, and the 1920 encyclical of the Church of Constantinople are all examined in order to shed light on the origins of the contemporary ecumenical movement. This booklet is essential reading for all those interested in Orthodox involvement in the ecumenical movement.

I-ville - a Kingdom where pride and selfishness dwell, and where people live by the motto “Me first!” You-ville - a Kingdom where humility and kindness have their home, and where people put the good of others before their own.
This is the story of a young boy named Stubborn, as he strives to become the first person of I-ville to make the difficult journey to the beautiful, joy-filled Kingdom of You-ville, and to become a citizen there.
As we join Stubborn in his adventures, we learn, along with him, profound lessons in how to struggle against bad thoughts and feelings. The journey of young Stubborn is one that all of us - old and young - must take, and which all of us can accomplish - if only we shrink our “I” and put “You” first!

CONCERNING FREQUENT COMMUNION OF THE IMMACULATE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST
by our Righteous God-bearing Father
Nikodemos the Hagiorite
PREFACE BY ARCHIMANDRITE CHRYSOSTOM MAIDONES
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn. 6:54)
These words of our Lord Jesus Christ have been, since the moment
they were spoken, a “scandal” and stumbling block, and a point of
departure for all who could not see in them “words of eternal life”
(Jn. 6:58). The misconceptions and mis-interpretations continue to
exist today, as does the need for a patristic and pastoral response.
Just such a reply exists in Saint Nikodemos’ renowned work,
Concerning Frequent Communion. The pious reader will find therein
answers, combed from the entire patristic tradition, to such questions
as: How should I approach the Holy Mysteries? What preparation is
necessary? How often should I commune? And, what does it mean to
be “worthy” of Holy Communion? Based upon and gathered from the
teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Church, Concerning Frequent
Communion provides a much needed, comprehensive and “catholic
corrective” to the variety of one-sided approaches so prevelant today.
This, the second volume in the series The Works of Saint Nikodemos the
Hagiorite, includes a thorough explanation of the Lord’s Prayer, an
apology for frequent communion, answers to objections and clarifications
of misconceptions. This edition is further enriched with a brief
history of the book’s compilation and two appendices on the Divine
Eucharist from other works of Saint Nikodemos.
The Truth of our Faith Volume II: On the Christian Mysteries by Elder Cleopa of Romania
NOW AVAILABLE:
The Second Volume in The Truth of our Faith Series
ORDER NOW through UNCUT MOUNTAIN SUPPLY!
The inner life of the Church, where man becomes “god by grace” through the reception of the Divine Energies or Grace of God, is centered on the Holy Mysteries. In this volume, Elder Cleopa explains the origins, meaning and purpose of the Holy Mysteries of baptism, chrismation, confession, ordination, marriage, and holy anointing. He also deconstructs the errors of those who misunderstand or reject this life in Christ. Squarely based on Holy Scripture and its interpretations by the Holy Fathers of every age, Elder Cleopa brings to light neglected knowledge and rejected counsel stored up for so many centuries in the Orthodox church-insights that could have helped avoid the disintegration of the Western church, and which may still aid in its restoration even today.
