Diplomas







“First, I probably made a frame. ... The eyes are glued wide, but it will do. Hey, who are you with us? Here are the wings for you. The wings turned out to be good, like those of a bird. ... Listen, turn your head to the side. And what, and that's all? The radius is too small. Let me twist it. Is that okay? Is that so? Well, I’ll come up to you from the back, and you look at me, just don’t twist your body. Wow!" - so, according to Laura Beloivan, the Lord could create an owl. This text has now been removed due to threats.

Laura Beloivan is a famous blogger, artist, author of books and has been saving seals in the Far East for many years. Her post on her personal Facebook page contained several unprintable expressions. It is difficult to surprise users of social networks with them, but it was they who became the stumbling block that brought down a whole rockfall on the author.

Laura received threats with an ultimatum demanding to immediately remove the post. “Either you edit - delete your post, or I will make you a scandal. The term of execution is 2 days. "

Beloivan deleted her post andwrote : “I deleted it because strange things are happening in our country: people who consider and call themselves Orthodox Christians increasingly feel offended in their religious feelings, including literary texts, and declare war on their authors. I'm not the first. A priest wrote to me who strongly recommended that I remove the text.

Today I learned from my Orthodox friends who are close to the Moscow Patriarchate that a whole campaign has been organized against me: complaints and statements (there are many of them) are in Roskomnadzor, the prosecutor's office, the police and who knows where else. In the text that you read, there is not even a hint of offending anyone's feelings, except, perhaps, the feelings of the owl - but she just has no claims to me.

... I am very tired of saying that the Orthodox are not the ones who destroy exhibitions, disrupt performances and write to prosecutors about the authors of texts on the Internet. I'm tired, but I will, because it's true: censorship, squabbles, vanity and anger have nothing to do with Orthodoxy. It is completely different in general. And about something else. "

Chairman of the Synodal Department of the Moscow Patriarchate for Church Relations with Society and the MediaVladimir Legoyda tried to reconcile all sides on your page :

“I don’t know Laura Beloivan and until yesterday I didn’t know anything about her. Today I heard from people respected by me that she helps animals a lot. And this is definitely great and respectful.

As for the text about the owl, I didn't like it. I understand that this is a metaphor, that this is not about God, but about an owl. That God was needed here as an image, but ... There are things that "smell bad" in banter. It seems to me that it is the same here. Say, could I, not being a Muslim, write such a test where “Allah” would be mentioned? Or Jehovah, if I weren't a Jew? I wouldn't. Why, albeit involuntarily and without desire, cause unpleasant feelings in people? Moreover, I would not have written such a text if I were a Muslim or a Jew. (I’ll tell you more, I would not put such words into my dad’s mouth. Just because I’ve never heard swearing from him, although I know what happened, of course ...)

Now the main thing: my Christian feelings are not offended by this text. They say the author is a Christian. So this is how she sees. Alas.

We are all different (which is good in itself). And here is one more important thing: someone will consider himself offended. And, possibly, he will send (or has already sent) this text to law enforcement agencies. As far as I understand, the father tried to warn the author about this, who wrote a personal letter, which later became common property.

I really hope that this (transfer of the text to the authorities) will not happen.

… After all, when the Lord created a person with the Word, He used a completely different vocabulary. Truth".

Under the post, Vladimir Berkhin, a publicist, President of the Tradition Foundation, asked:

“Do I understand correctly that you consider the complaint against this text to the authorities as a non-Christian act?”

Vladimir Legoyda answered unequivocally: “I - yes”.

How to study Orthodoxy, where to start? Why are services held in an incomprehensible language? Why do you need a post? How to Combine Faith with Career? And many more questions arise today in the minds of the young generation, Orthodox or just on the threshold of the Church.

The Zhukovsky Orthodox youth club VSTRECHA, which exists at the Panteleimon Church, is a society of young people, very different, but united by a keen interest in Orthodoxy ...

The main events in the life of our Club are weekly meetings, which can have a very diverse form of conduct: from theological disputes to festive good fun. Sometimes, in fine weather, meetings turn into a walk, a picnic or a bike ride. But regardless of the venue, we strive for the meeting to be informative and at the same time relaxed.

A traditional part of our meetings is an intimate conversation over tea. The main content of the meeting most often becomes thematic conversation with the participation of experts (a Sunday school teacher and a priest - the club's confessor). Each participant in the conversation can share his thoughts, ask questions of concern to him, participate in a dispute.

Topics for discussion are selected based on the interests and wishes of the audience. The range of topics is very wide, but all of them are viewed through the prism of the Orthodox worldview and are designed to clarify the truths of faith and ways to apply these truths to their own life in modern conditions. In addition to conversations, at the meetings one can hear small reports and lectures, the purpose of which is a deeper penetration into the subjects of faith.

Our club loves travel: to make pilgrimages to holy places and just relax in nature. The geography of trips extends from the mountains of Crimea, where we spent the night under the starry sky on the ledge of a cave near the mountain monastery, to the distant lakes of the north, where far from civilization we were introduced to the village life at a friend's house. We do not bypass our native Moscow region, rich in shrines.

Our immediate plans for the summer are participation in the regular International Orthodox Festival "Brothers", which has become a source of new ideas and breathed fresh strength into us.

The club not only implies education and communication, but also gives the opportunity to participate in internal church activities... Among us there are singers, readers, there are those who publish the parish newspaper, make the parish website; someone supports the activities of the Club itself. Those who wish can find application for their talents here.

It is impossible to tell about everything that we do and what we only plan to accomplish in one article. The main thing is that we strive to become true Christians.

Are our goals the same? Come to the MEETING!

Club meetings are held weekly on Sundays at 17:00, usually in the building of school number 15 on the 3rd floor in the office. 27. Have a passport with you (for a pass on watch).
