Festival Glasovi sveta za svega nekoliko godina postao je jedan od najprestižnijih svetskih književnih događaja. Festival je 2005. godine osnovao Salman Rušdi zamišljajući ga kao „platformu za podsticanje dijaloga o individualnim pravima i slobodama među piscima i intelektualcima iz različitih kultura“. Rušdi je i dalje na čelu ovog festivala čiji su učesnici bili najpoznatiji savremeni svetski pisci. Festival Glasovi sveta posvećen je „širokom spektru aktuelnih društvenih i političkih pitanja važnih za pisce i umetnike širom sveta“.

Tokom gotovo nedelju dana programa koji se održavaju na različitim tačkama Njujorka festival Glasovi sveta okupiće više od 150 pisaca, teoretičara, kritičara i drugih intelektualaca iz tridesetak zemalja. Među učesnicima festivala nalaze se i Salman Rušdi, Đerđ Konrad, Noam Čomski, Adam Mihnjik, Adonis, Lin Ulman, Adonis, Timoti Garton Eš, Kolm Tojbin, Džudit Batler, Ivan Klima, Martin Amis, Pol Maldun, Sjon i mnogi drugi.

U središtu ovogodišnjeg, desetog po redu festivala jeste tema Na ivici koja je, prema rečima organizatora, „inspirisana dugogodišnjim praksama pozvanih autora koji su preuzimali umetničke i političke rizike, imajući hrabrosti da javno istupe, stavljajući na kocku društvene uloge, vlastite karijere, a ponekad i živote da bi progovorili protiv statusa quo“.

Govoreći o ovogodišnjoj temi, direktor festivala Glasovi sveta Laslo Jakab Orsos podsetio je da je Kurt Vonegat svojevremeno rekao da je želeo da se približi ivici koliko je to moguće a da se ne padne s nje, jer je samo iz te perspektive mogao da vidi stvari koje nije mogao da sagleda iz centra.

Nastojeći da predstave program u rasponu od književnosti do politike, od poezije do filozofije, festival Glasovi sveta, pored čitanja i razgovora o savremenoj književnosti, obuhvatiće i čitav niz aktuelnih pitanja kao što su sloboda izražavanja, globalni nadzor u 21. veku, upotreba hrane kao političkog oružja, uloga intelektualne javnosti danas, nelegalno špijuniranje ili obeležavanje 25 godina od pada Berlinskog zida.

Posle održavanja festivala Glasovi sveta biće objavljena antologija tekstova učesnika ovogodišnjeg festivala. Vladimir Tasić biće predstavljen odlomkom iz romana Oproštajni dar, čije je novo izdanje nedavno objavljeno u Arhipelagu, dok će Igor Štiks biti predstavljen odlomkom iz romana Elijahova stolica po kome je nastala i istoimena predstava u JDP.

Notes On Ecumenism

Written in 1972 by St. Abba Justin Popovich, edited by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich, translated from Serbian by Aleksandra Stojanovich, and proofread by Fr Miroljub Ruzich

Abba Justin’s manuscript legacy (on which Bishop Athanasius have been working for a couple of years preparing an edition of The Complete Works ), also includes a parcel of sheets/small sheets of paper (in the 1/4 A4 size) with the notes on Ecumenism (written in pencil and dating from the period when he was working on his book “The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism”; there are also references to the writings of St. Bishop Nikolai [Velimirovich], short excerpts copied from his Sermons, some of which were quoted in the book).

The editor presents the Notes authentically, as he has found them in the manuscripts (his words inserted in the text, as clarification, are put between the slashes /…/; all the footnotes are ours).—In the appendix are present the facsimiles of the majority of Abba’s Notes which were supposed to be included in his book On Ecumenism (written in haste then, but now significantly supplemented with these Notes. The Notes make evident the full extent of Justin’s profundity as a theologian and ecclesiologist of the authentic Orthodoxy).—The real Justin is present in these Notes: by his original language, style, literature, polemics, philosophy, theology, and above all by his confession of the God-man Christ and His Church. He confesses his faith, tradition, experience and his perspective on man, on the world and on Europe—invariably in the Church and from the Church, in the God-man Christ and from Him, just as he did in all of his writings and in his entire life and theologizing.
