The spiritual activities of the Russian Orthodox Church and society

In recent years, not because but rather in spite of the development of mass culture, we observed the phenomenon when different people more attracted to traditional spiritual activities. The Russian Orthodox Church at the present stage it will soobrazhat with the traditional concept of Orthodox missionary activity. the Main idea - preaching of the gospel around the world, calling people to hear God with their immortal souls. Anyim words, the contents of the spiritual activities of the Church is reduced to making parishioners all essence of the gospel. Because the only way man can experience the presence of God. Next should be a spiritualization of the whole society, which returned the souls of God will be the "bread of life".

If you look at the sources, this mission was originally adopted directly by the apostles, so it is still called Apostolic. Its source is the Holy Trinity. It is implemented through the message of the Father of God the only-begotten son, Jesus Christ, and the revelation of his blessing on the Apostles.

The Preaching of the Church, like prayer, should not be terminated "until the end of time". So regulated spiritual activities of the Russian Orthodox Church in terms of its implementation. This eschatological closely vzaimosvyazei spiritual activities of the Church and world, consistent and steady sanctification and renewal of the surrounding macrocosm, including humans ("the Field is the world"). The field missionary is represented by a space fight between light and shadow. It is a field that is not smooth, perfect. On the contrary, there sprouted the tares are the sons of the Evil one.

At the turn of the third Millennium, millions of people were freed from the shackles of godless ideology. Before the ROC for the first time in 800 years of its existence arose the necessity of Universal Preaching on such a scale. This paradoxical situation can be interpreted as the second Christianization. While the Church is welcome perceives national culture, their works do not contradict Faith, transforming them with his Holiness in the means of salvation. In this regard, relevant is the comparison with the preaching of the sower casting the seeds of faith and pulls out the tares.

In 1918 SVT. Tikhon wrote to the Patriarch of Constantinople Herman V on crops in the hearts of the Russian people hatred, raspylenie in the hearts of men the spirit of envy and pride of planting them in ungodly thoughts about a graceless building a life.

Remember one of the names of the evil - Corrupting ways. So not his task to transform God's world in the accumulation of spiritually devastated people deprived of the purpose of life? “Meaningful” the monologues of the politicians does not solve problems, empty monologues a day “stars” is only able to confuse the common man, and the result is to deprive society needs speakers. Or glamorous, disorienting in the life to young people, throwing them brilliant dummy instead of the real values. After all is paid and forcefully embedded in our minds!

What forms of spiritual activity known to us? Undoubtedly, the main form is connected with religion. The assigned mission of the ROC is all facilitate the early activation of the unity of society, its spiritual and moral purification through testimonies of Truth. Draws the attention to the Christianization of national cultures, on the initiation of social reforms to protect the disadvantaged people.
Another form of spiritual life is the activity of creative people working in the field of culture, their creativity. A special form of spirituality is a soulful attitude to their profession, helping people. Thinking people instinctively swing a dead-end branch of spirituality and looking for the constructive.

A True paradox of the current spiritual modern society is the recognition of older people the basics of the Christian Rus', the religious traits of the national culture, but they are not parishioners. So whether it was in the past century? The spiritual activity of the Church aimed at the restoration of this continuity, the restoration of spiritual and mental wholeness of the congregation.

In the future spiritual activity all people should be an absolute rule, the existence of society. Rus get back to the basics of his spirituality. Remember the call of St. Peter to God with a request to give the opportunity to approach the Creator through the water. As the allegory to be understood? Because the gospel is written not just for us but about us. It's given to us not just for idle reading, and for understanding that we Christians, who took his soul to God, together with faith will be given great power to create and heal. Recall from the gospel of Mark God's word that believers will be given all they ask for in prayer.
