In this study on evening worship in the Orthodox Church, Nicholas Uspensky reveals the true purpose for which the service of Vespers came into existence: the ancient Christian tradition of giving thanks for the evening light, and the faith which this tradition implies concerning the presence of Christ in the midst of those gathered in His name. While tracing the evolution of the rites of Vespers and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts from their Old Testamental antecedents to their present forms today, he calls upon liturgical commentators to stand closer to the meaning attached to the service of evening worship by the ancient Church. This valuable historical-liturgical study also discusses the Communion which is added to the Vespers in the midst of the Fast, and the differences that exist between the Greek and Russian orders of service for the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist.

Hear me, O Lord." The Contents Introduction Great Vespers Artoklasia Lenten Sunday Vespers Lenten Daily Vespers Pascha & Renewal Week Appendix: Priestly Prayers From the Introduction The intent of this publication is to offer an English language service book for the various forms of Vespers, to be used by the laity in accordance with common practice in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. As the primary target of this publication is the lay person, we have chosen to offer unabbreviated service texts for each form of the Vespers, in order that one does not need to flip back and forth as might be found with other service texts intended for Reader and Chanter. For clergy, we have added the 7 prayers of Vespers and the Prayer at the Bowing of the Heads as an Appendix to this volume. About the Translation As with many services of the Orthodox Church, the Psalter (or book of Psalms) is the basis of evening prayer in the service of Vespers. For this volume, we have chosen to use the scripture from the St. Athanasius Academy Septuagint(tm), which is a translation commonly found in English-based Orthodox worship.

Download and read online ebook The Church Impotent write by Leon J. Podles. This book was released on 1999. The Church Impotent available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The current preoccupation with the role of women in the church obscures the more serious problem of the perennial absence of men. This provocative book argues that Western churches have become women's clubs, that the emasculation of Christianity is dangerous for the church and society, and that a masculine presence can and must be restored.After documenting the highly feminized state of Western Christianity, Dr. Podles identifies the masculine traits that once characterized the Christian life but are now commonly considered incompatible with it. He contends that though masculinity has been marginalized within Christianity, it cannot be expunged from human society. If detached from Christianity, it reappears as a substitute religion, with unwholesome and even horrific consequences. The church, too, is diminished by its emasculation. Dr. Podles concludes by considering how Christianity's virility might be restored.In the otherwise stale and overworked field of gender studies, The Church Impotent is the only book to confront the lopsidedly feminine cast of modern Christianity with a profound analysis of its historical and sociological roots.
