Want to Read"There is nothing that we could call ‘new’, because once Christianity had been proclaimed, once Christ came and established His Church, there is nothing more that can be new. This is the preparation for the end of the world, and people who are penetrated by the principles of Orthodox tradition do not expect anything new in this world."-Seraphim Rose, Orthodox Survival Course

"The very term 'Middle Ages' is an interesting one because it exists only in the West. All other civilizations, whether Christian, such as Byzantine or Russian, or non-Christian, such as the Chinese or Indian, can be divided into two periods, that is, the ancient period when these civilizations were governed by their own native philosophy, world-view, tradition, and the modern period when they became overwhelmed by the West. And there’s no noticeable shading from one to the other. It’s merely a matter of one being overwhelmed by the other."-Seraphim Rose, Orthodox Survival Course
