‘JORDANVILLE CONFERENCE’ AVAILABLE IN BOTH AUDIO AND VIDEO, FROM ANCIENT FAITH RADIOOn March 14, 2019
By zosimas In Monasteries, Pastoral Theology
1 Comment
_HIGH QUALITY RECORDINGS IN BOTH AUDIO AND VIDEO FROM THE LANDMARK ‘JORDANVILLE CONFERENCE’ WHICH TOOK PLACE JUST LAST WEEKEND (MARCH 7-9) ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE LISTENING AND DOWNLOAD FROM ANCIENTFAITH RADIO
._
Titled ‘CHASTITY, PURITY, INTEGRITY: ORTHODOX ANTHROPOLOGY AND SECULAR CULTURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY’,
this is shaping up to be the most significant Orthodox Christian conference yet of the new century. The fifteen presentations — more than five hours, not including the 48 minute long keynote address by Rod Dreher, author of The Benedict Option — present a wide variety of traditional, authentic, Orthodox perspectives on the anthropological heresy of our age. AFR’s special pagefor
the conference recordings states: > Held at Holy Trinity Seminary (Russian Orthodox Church Abroad) March > 7 – 9 2019, scholarly and pastoral perspectives were shared with > the goal of articulating the application of Orthodox Tradition and > apologetics to current needs, in the face of current social trends > regarding sex, body, and human nature. Someone might ask, “You are doing a photo book on Orthodox monasticism. Why are you blogging about such a hot button topic completely tangential to your work?”Fair question.
I am blogging about this conference precisely because it reveals something quite dynamic and critical to the health of Orthodoxy in America, namely THE MASSIVE CONTRIBUTION ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MONASTICISM HAS TO MAKE TO THE VERY LIFE AND WITNESS OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH, IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD. It is precisely the Orthodox monastic ethos and _phronema_ that undergirds this Conference which gives it its legitimacy, its authenticity, and its prophetic tone and urgency. I made that very point in my earlier post,
in which I wrote:
> This visionary conference, perhaps the first of its kind in North > America, features speakers and a planning committee who hail > primarily from HOLY TRINITY ORTHODOX SEMINARY (ROCOR, Jordanville > NY) and ST TIKHON’S ORTHODOX THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY (OCA, South > Canaan PA), both of which are unique in North America among Orthodox > seminaries for being linked to and deriving their traditional > Orthodox ethos from the monasteries out of which they grew. Clearly, there is a large amount of material to cover here. So far, I have watched four of the presentations (quite out of their chronological order), those by Dr. Mark Cherry, Fr. Peter Heers, Fr. John Parker, and Fr. Alexander Webster. These are each so weighty and intense, that I look forward to the rest, and am determined to make the viewing of these presentations an important part of my Lenten effort for 2019. Indeed, that may have been the aim of the conference planning committee, who timed the conference for the threshold of the beginning of Great Lent, and who obviously coordinated tightly with Ancient Faith Radio to make the presentations available less than a week after the conclusion of the conference. _(I should add that the videos are not raw, unedited uploads, but benefit from three or four camera angles, nicely varied, with the brief introduction of each speaker, and the speaker’s name and position/title recurrently displayed at bottom. This professional presentation adds to the significance of the entire effort.)_ The talks by DR MARK CHERRY _(Professor of Philosophy at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas)_ and FR ALEXANDER F.C. WEBSTER _(Dean and Professor of Moral Theology at Holy Trinity Seminary (ROCOR) in Jordanville, New York)_ serve to frame the conference as a prophetic moment in the life of the Orthodox Church in North America and the West in general.

Titled _CHASTITY, PURITY, INTEGRITY: – ORTHODOX ANTHROPOLOGY AND SECULAR CULTURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY, _this visionary conference, perhaps the first of its kind in North America, features speakers and a planning committee who hail primarily from HOLY TRINITY ORTHODOX SEMINARY (ROCOR, Jordanville NY) and ST TIKHON’S ORTHODOX THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY (OCA, South Canaan PA), both of which are unique in North America among Orthodox seminaries for being linked to and deriving their traditional Orthodox ethos from the monasteries out of which they grew. Confronting in a firm and direct manner the raging cultural heresies of the day, yet with love and compassion befitting a truly Christian endeavor, the conference features presentations with such traditional Orthodox titles and teachings as these: * _Orthodox Anthropology: Encountering the “new gnosticism” of transgenderism, pansexuality, and post-humanism_ * _Nurturing Christian Purity and Chastity among Young People Today_
* _The Mystery of Male and Female_ * _The Relevance and Application of Orthodox teachings of Purity and Chastity to 21st-Century America: Culture, Families, Parishes_ * _Leavening American Society with the Moral Teachings of theChurch_
This conference clearly is intended to present in a living and engaging manner the divine-human Orthodox _phronema_, the Mind of Christ and His Church on the nature, calling, and destiny of mankind. Unlike certain academic platforms, cut off as they are from the living Orthodox tradition, and which therefore spread heresy and error and seek to overthrow the divine teachings and commandments of Christ and the Scriptures regarding man and woman, marriage and sexuality, and to reimagine and subvert the living tradition of the Orthodox Church, this Jordanville Conference, deriving as it does from two of the oldest and most stalwart Orthodox Christian monasteries in the entire Western Hemisphere, offers not just Orthodox teaching on the nature of Mankind, but presents _THE WAY OF LIFE,_ as distinguished from the way which leads to death (see the _Didache_, esp. ch. 1 & 2).
Rather than reproduce the lovely aerial photo of Holy Trinity Monastery and Seminary featured with the conference announcement, I think it more appropriate to use one of my favorite images from THE NORTH AMERICAN THEBAID, my photograph of the entrance to Jordanville, its domes faithfully shining beneath dark and threatening skies, a metaphor for the Orthodox Christian presence shining in the midst of the dark age we have entered into here in America. More info and links on the Jordanville Conference are below thephotograph:
CHASTITY, PURITY, INTEGRITY: ORTHODOX ANTHROPOLOGY AND SECULAR CULTURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY HOLY TRINITY SEMINARY JORDANVILLE, NEW YORK MARCH 7 – 9, 2019 | CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND INFO This three-day conference focuses on the application of Orthodox teachings on anthropology and morality to contemporary challenges posed by secular American culture (even within the Church). It will include both scholarly and pastoral perspectives, with the goal of articulating the application of Orthodox Tradition and apologetics to current needs, in the face of current social trends regarding sex, body, and human nature. It seeks to do so in a prayerful and traditional framework, out of compassion for both struggling Orthodox Christians and families, and those of our neighbors facing spiritual shipwreck in our culturetoday.
Speakers include::
* Bishop Irenei (Steenberg) * Bishop/Abbot Luke Murianka * Dr. Alfred Kentigern Siewers* Dr. David Ford

THE 2019 ST TIKHON’S MONASTERY PRESS LITURGICAL CALENDAR has reached its final form, and is going to press. I feel deeply honored to have contributed the images for next year’s calendar, which has as its theme and subtitle ‘Monasteries of North America’. The 2019 St Tikhon’s Liturgical Calendar is truly the “first fruits” of the North American Thebaid Photographic Pilgrimage, and represents the first appearance in print of my photographs from my 2+ years journey to over thirty Orthodox Christian monasteries in NorthAmerica.
In previous years the St. Tikhon’s Calendar has featured photos of Orthodox parishes, rare festal icons and frescoes, and other beautiful scenes to accompany the journey through the year. The guide to daily scripture readings, major feasts, fasting guides, and saints’ days makes a liturgical calendar such as this essential for Orthodox Christians seeking to live their lives in a manner faithful to Christ and His Church. The 2019 calendar’s visual reminder of our monastic brothers and sisters who have left the world to follow Christ and the Gospel will hopefully serve as added inspiration and encouragement forus all.
Scroll down for a gallery of several of the images featured in the calendar. From the St Tikhon’s Press product description: THE ST. TIKHON’S LECTIONARY WALL CALENDAR has become a most treasured item in homes and churches throughout the Orthodox world in America. The 2019 calendar includes 12 photographs of North American monasteries, plus detailed information for each day of the liturgicalyear.
CALENDARS INCLUDE:
* Major Feast Days & Saints * Fasting Guidelines * Scripture Readings * Old Calendar Dates for Major Feasts & Saints * Excerpts from His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon’s, _Of What Life Do We Speak?, now available from STM Press_ * Special Liturgical Notes * 12 photographs of American monasteries including images from the forthcoming book from photographer Ralph Sidway, _The North AmericanThebaid_

AT LONG LAST, I’VE POSTED DOZENS OF MY PHOTOS FROM ST HERMAN OF ALASKA MONASTERY IN PLATINA, CALIFORNIA.The rustic cell of
Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose), preserved as it was during his lifetime. St. Herman’s is perhaps best known for having been founded by Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose), of blessed memory, who died in 1982 at the young age of 48. St Herman Press continues the publishing legacy of Father Seraphim and the early “Platina Years”, and this remote monastery continues to draw pilgrims from all over the world. I was able to enjoy nearly full week here, and come away with vivid memories and a strong sense of attachment to the monastery and brotherhood. I made a large number of photographs from my visit, and it has taken far longer to select and edit than I expected or wished — and I’m still not finished! Rather than delay any longer, I have posted Part 1 on the new Gallery page for St Herman’s,
and hope to complete my editing over the next several days. The next batch includes some beautiful images made during the Vigil service, which I believe will be well worth the wait. (I will also be adding captions to the just posted photos in Part 1.) As always, my heartfelt thanks for your patience with the slow pace of posting recently, and for your continued prayers and support.

I feel deeply honored to have several of my images from my two-year pilgrimage to over thirty Orthodox monasteries across North America included in this important calendar, which is an annual “must have” resource for Orthodox Christians in the USA and Canada.Free
custom imprint and free shipping for orders of 20 or more. Previous years have featured photos of Orthodox parishes, rare festal icons and frescoes, and other beautiful scenes to accompany the journey through the year. The inclusion of daily scripture readings, major feasts, fasting guides, and saints’ days makes a liturgical calendar such as this essential to the serious Orthodox Christian who has dedicated him or herself to follow hard after Christ. In addition to the photographs of life in American Monasteries, the 2019 St Tikhon’s Calendar also features select excerpts from His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon’s landmark work, _Of What Life Do WeSpeak?
_,
making this an especially edifying and inspiring keepsake.
