Mother Cassiana, what beauty you share!

Thank you.
Beautiful video thank you.
So fortunate and grateful that Fr. Silviu is our parish priest.
Is the Byzantine tradition of technique and the western vision of technique the same ? I find this to be a pivotal question.
IMHO there is something about these guys that makes me feel that they are turning Orthodoxy into a branch of the Anglican Church.
The moralism that accompanies some of this analysis by that I mean references to modern art is off-putting only because it is so typical of this kind of analysis.
Unfortunately there are no for credit courses available
To bad the courses are not for credit
I’m a Mexican Catholic artist. Our tradition here in my country is almost the opposite from our Orthodox brothers and sisters in terms of our approach to sacred spaces and art, (we tend towards a more folk and sentimental vision of the sacred). While I have a profound love for my cultural roots, I can’t help admiring Orthodox Christians’ conscientious preservation of tradition and intellectuality in their art and liturgy. This video here is literally what I have been itching for in regards to my vocation and these men here are what I wish to be in life. Thank you so so much for this. (Also, I owe Jonathan Pageau the discovery of my vocation. God bless him)
Is 50 years old to old to begin to become a Priest?
No age is too old. If you feel God is calling you, talk to some priests you know to get their advice, then begin trying to follow where God is leading you
Glory to Jesus Christ
interesting.
This video literally brought me to tears. Especially this part: "Ask yourself what you want and ask what God wants. Because if you love God you do what He wants. You want to please your Master. You want to please the target of your affection". Maranatha!
Очень красиво, благодарю! Мира всем и любви!
An interesting thing here is that western rennaissance artists and those after until the 19th century didnt use the likeness of their models, but idealized forms. Likness only shows up in portraiture and in many artists of that period not very well. Perhaps only a few possessed such a keen eye such as Holbein and many northern artists. Though what confusingly gets considered as a likeness in western art is the naturalness of form which is idealized into a person that is a non specific human (not sure of a specific term for this) one that did not look like the model itself. The model functioned to understand how the abstract elements functions under light, that is color, form, shape, etc.. the artists changed anything that was considered not ideal to type like an iconographer. Changing elements to meet criteria, like modern icons of saints we have actual photographs of the paintings are reductive and stylize or idealize natural forms into the post 1950s byzantine style, western artists were doing the same thing but idealizing nevertheless remaining away from the models likeness.
Thank you, Father for your words. I pray that God will give me discernment
I appreciate the exhortation to look for opportunities to serve God, and ask what God wants... seek to please your Master, the target of your affection.
Acquisition Of The Holy Spirit - Amen.
Interesting, thank you.
This was very encouraging thank you and God bless
14:04 the black patinated iron chandeliers are great! 20:45 Andrew Gould hit the nail on its head: the kitsch of contemporary catholic art is beyond belief, and so is the sentimentality and bad taste of a lot of evangelical music. I would add to that the Jehovah Witnesses magazines, with their illustrations. And the horrid intellectualisation of atonal music and a lot of contemporary "art". The polarisation of everyone revealed through their taste. I only disagree that this divide can be bridged by orthodox art. From my experience, it doesn't bridge between polar opposites.
this is phat!!
So few watching or subscribed. Greetings from Holy Russia 🇷🇺
As always, a very thoughtful talk from Aidan.
God bless! What a wonderful lecture
What a wonderful lecture!
Thank you Fr. Elias! I fine myself in a similar predicament as the first person who asked the question about being married to a non-Christian. Are you able to direct me to the research you found on forgiveness in spousal conflict from a mental health/science perspective?
Thank you for your comment! The bibliography Fr Elias referred to in his talk is available on our website; click on the link to read his final project dissertation: www.svots.edu/headlines/dmin-graduate-introduces-marriage-enrichment-program-orthodox-christians
Peter is a very good interviewer. He finds the nooks and crannies of the conversation and butters it up all nice.
Thank you for sharing this lecture.
I put up a comment but I acted like a coward and removed it. I don't want to be a coward so here it is again even more explicit than before. Andrew Gould is openly proclaiming perrenial philososophy in this panel. This same philosophical position was adopted by Rome in Vatican 2. We don't need innovation in the Church. I see this as a Trojan horse. It starts by innovation of icons, then liturgy follows, then ecclesiology, then the faith itself is swept away to make way for the universal religion of Antichrist. A Christ who is the brother of man. The Christ of the Doobie Brothers' "Jesus is just alright". I oppose this ideology. It is a distortion of the faith of the Apostles.
😂 Nope! But that’s a new accusation, thanks!
I understand your position, but they do discuss this constant play between petrification and innovation concerning the art of the church in this recording. I would recommend Jonathan Pageau's video "Sacred Art in Secular Terms" because in the beginning of the lecture he discusses current liturgical artists across Orthodox countries and how they are working with this play. If you want to better understand Andrew Gould's thoughts on the topic, St. Vladimir's Seminary has a podcast called Luminous where they discuss Sacred Art and Andrew Gould came on as a guest a few months ago. I think it should be stated that Andrew Gould isn't advocating innovation for innovation's sake and it's rather ridiculous to lump his work into the same category as the hippie Jesus of modern evangelical circles or the radical innovation of Vatican II.
Listen to the man speak. There is nothing hidden in the words coming out of his mouth. This is not the Royal Path.
@@dustinneely I did listen to him speak and I agree that there wasn't a hidden meaning in his words.
@1:26:31
Wonderful talk! I kept wondering what sizes Mr. Pageau’s pieces are.
God Bless! Thank you for hosting this conversation
Andrew Gould is the coolest dude ever.
You really need to go Wassailing with him during the Christmas Season in downtowne CharlesTowne!
Fr. Silouan at the end was a more exciting cameo than in any Marvel movie from the last 10 years.
I'm not through this yet, but it is excellent. Makes me so happy to be Orthodox, and I'm incredibly excited about how American/North American Orthodoxy and iconography and art is going to be created. Faithful innovation, not a dogmatic traditionalism.
Agreed
Luke, are you going to Chino?
@@ourblessedtribe9284 I am not, unfortunately. Too many other commitments this year. If you are, have a blessed time! I hope to hear many good things.

Beautiful and instructive. I can't find the book you referred to, "Jesus For Introverts." Is it not yet available?
I tried to find it too and couldn’t find it. Still searching and had the same question.
