Свети Никола у Приштини

У обновљеној Цркви Светог Николе у Приштини, која је била потпуно уништена у погрому 17. марта 2004, на градску и храмовну славу, окупило се јуче десет старијих Срба који живе у овом граду и око педесет гостију из целе земље.

Оцу Дарку са породицом, који живи у Приштини, из Лос Анђелеса је стигао епископ западноамерички Максим, који је заједно са владиком рашко-призренским Теодосијем служио литургију.

.

Владика Максим је након службе посетио село Доњу Брњицу где је ђацима Основне школе „Димитрије Прица” уручио новчану помоћ и пригодне поклоне. Новац су прикупиле чланице Кола српских сестара из региона Лос Анђелеса.

The Meaning of Reality

Essays on Existence and Communion, Eros and History

by Christos Yannaras

The collection of articles traces the thought of Christos Yanaras through his long journey in discovering the meaning of existence, communion, eros, and history. It is a cause of immense joy that no fewer than twenty articles of passionate significance and substance have at present been gathered together in this volume under the title The Meaning of Reality.

Yannaras is undoubtedly one of the most significant thinkers of our time. Kallistos Ware once described him as "the most creative and prophetic religious thinker at work in Greece today," while Rowan Williams characterizes him as "one of the most significant Christian philosophers in Europe." His very wide and no less deep education helps him to develop an inimitable blend of philosophy, theology, and social criticism, and to speak in an original way about the traditional and contemporary issues of human existence, as well as the latest challenges of modern empirical science and political engagement. A detailed knowledge of the writings of the Holy Fathers has always been his foundation amidst the labyrinth of modern thought - which is inimately bound up with psychoanalysis, environmental issues, human rights, postmodernism, and pluralism , to mention just a few. Insistence on the primacy, uniqueness, and eternal value of human personality prevails in almost all his works and inspires his own vigorous theological and ecumenical engagement, based on the Orthodox eucharistic and ascetic tradition.
