Archbishop Averky (Taushev)

On Wednesday of the fourth week after Pascha, we celebrate the Feast of Mid-Pentecost. This day unites two great feasts—Pascha and Pentecost.
"But how can one be 'witnessing Orthodoxy' if one doesn't even inform the Catholics that they have no sacraments...?"

Uncovering of relics of St. John (Maximovitch) added to Russian Church calendar
https://orthochristian.com/160505.html

The feast of the Uncovering of the Relics of St. John (Maximovitch) of Shanghai and San Francisco (September 29/October 12) has been added to the liturgical calendar of the Moscow Patriarchate.
We fully agree with Alexey that “evolution is one of the most dangerous concepts that faces the Orthodox Christian today”— perhaps it is the very key (intellectual) to the assault upon the Church, to the very “philosophy” (and there is such a thing!) of the coming Antichrist. If we understand [Father Neketas] and Father Ephraim aright, you regard it as merely an “idea” which one can take or leave, and which can involve one in endless modernist-fundamentalist discussions which are totally pointless (how many “hours” in the first “seven days”? etc.). We certainly agree on the pointlessness of such discussions, but now the issue is much deeper than that; “evolution” is a whole mind-set that is quite incompatible with Orthodoxy.

-Fr. Seraphim Rose, letter dated April 5/18, 1973

Icon: the scroll reads in Romanian: “Evolutionism is the key to the philosophy of Antichrist”
We had a very successful Pilgrimage here, with many more pilgrims than expected (150 the first day, and nearly 200 people altogether during the week). There were no “super-correct” zealots noticeable, no protests against the frequent mention of suffering believers in Russia (including a talk on a courageous priest [Fr. George Calciu] of the Romanian Patriarchate)—just normal people awaking to the need for a deeper Orthodoxy (or to the need for Orthodoxy at all—there were several converts made during the Pilgrimage, and two baptisms of older converts). I think there are big things just beginning to happen in the soul of America (parallel to the awakening in Russia), and we should be there to guide all those we can into Orthodoxy. There is also a beginning of awakening in Orthodox of other jurisdictions through contact with our Church, and this should certainly be encouraged by not pushing them away with statements that they have no grace, etc. In view of all this, our Greeks are just not “where it’s at”—they’re fighting windmills with their jesuitical logic and justifying their own “purity,” while what is needed is loving and aware hearts to help the suffering and searching and bring them to Christ.

-Fr. Seraphim Rose, letter dated Aug 21/Sep 3, 1981
An Orthodox person who is NOT different can be worse off than the non-Orthodox. There is nothing sadder than the spectacle of Orthodox Christians, who possess a treasure that cannot be valued by any earthly measure, something which many are seeking and do not find in today's world—nothing is sadder than Orthodox Christians who do not value and do not use this treasure.

-Fr. Seraphim Rose, Orthodoxy in the USA
