WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

How to Survive These Times
Fr. Seraphim Rose



from Orthodox Views website:

Vital in understanding these difficult times is Fr Seraphim Rose’s “Orthodox Survival Course”, a rare and most valued Orthodox resource, ...  Fr. Seraphim taught this course in the 70′s at the Platina monastery...

from the course:

"...The purpose of these lectures, why we should be studying the development of modern mentality, is s that we might understand why the world is the way it is today, what has gone into forming our own minds; so that we can be Orthodox by rising up against all false ideas, all false formation in our minds, and seeing what is the true Orthodox mentality and the true Orthodox teaching..."

Fr. Seraphim gave this course annually free of charge and never intended for anyone to have to pay for it.  Certainly he would be horrified to find that anyone is trying to keep people from hearing his lectures.
