| Quotation | Have been reading a marvelous book of theology by the Orthodox Father Paul Evdokimov who teaches at Saint Serge in Paris. It is called La femme et le salut du monde [The Feminine and the Salvation of the World] but is in reality a whole survey of Sophianic theology. Marvelous and exciting perspectives. Here is a real theologian-one of the few. But one thing helps and encourages me above all. This line: "Reconnaître le Christ même en ceux qui en apparence luttent contre Lui, mais en realite se revoltent contre des conceptions et des valeurs faussement Chretiennes, n'estce pas là un acte Chretien des plus urgents?" ["To recognize Christ Himself in those who by appearance struggle against Him, when in reality they struggle against ideas and values which are falsely called Christian, is that not an urgent Christian task?" p. 126.] |
