M-am framintat si eu cu problema aceasta si nu cred ca am gasit o solutie adecvata. Oricum, nu una cuvint cu cuvint. Dintre toate cred ca as prefera varianta Liturghierul Bisericii Anglicane (sau Episcopale, dupa caz.) Cred ca Teofil Stanciu ar putea sa ne ofere variante mai bune.

Am nevoie de ajutor într-o problemă: cum traduceți dumneavoastră „Book of Common Prayer”? „Cartea de rugăciune comună”, „Cartea de rugăciuni obștești”, sau cum?
Am căutat prin cărțile românești ce le am în bibliotecă și am găsit în „Momente cruciale în istoria Bisericii” de la LOGOS prima variantă. Pe Wikipedia am găsit că o versiune francofonă mai veche o numește „La liturgie, c’est à dire, le formulaire des prières publiques”, așadar o „Liturghie”.
Ce este, de fapt? Un fel de Ceaslov? Sau un Liturghier (sau, dacă sună prea ortodoxizant: o „rînduială a serviciului divin”)? Se poate traduce și așa?
Mulțumesc anticipat.

I was in Romania in early March 1977. The day of the earthquake I was actually in Belgrade. The people in the youth hostel where I was staying said they felt it, but I been on the train all night with little sleep and after that walked several miles uphill to the hostel. I was exhausted, and I slept for about 20 hours and so slept through the earthquake. Instead of going to Bucharest, I changed directions at Craiova and took the train north that way. I stayed in Fagaras (I know a dance from there, it was a sort of pilgrimage…), Brasov and Cluj.
I live in Ukiah, California, about 2 hours north of San Francisco, and not too far from the coast, where I grew up. I went to college at Humboldt State University in Arcata. The Calverts’ son teaches at the High School in Potter Valley, to the northeast of Ukiah. You should be able to find the towns easily on your favorite map application. I only met the Calverts once, when they came to my book group with one of the other members, who invited them to come to the group having met them only the night before. It was so enjoyable talking with them.
I will certainly check for your papers on academia.edu.

Thanks, Dana, for your beautiful testimony. I have many friends, some very close, who became Orthodox, and we still keep very close ties, unless they became fanatics. Then I stay away from them, as I stay away from Protestant (or Catholic) fundamentalists.
So, you were in Romania in 1977? Or during the next large earthquake?
In the mean time, I listened to a video recording of Fr Seraphim and I liked it. I also asked a friend of mine who is a Romanian Orthodox priest in Edinburgh and he confirmed Fr Seraphim is a good men. I also found out that he quite a gifted poet before becoming a monk. I would certainly try to meet him one day, either in Oxford, where he studies now, and where I have many friends, or on Mull, on one of my regular trips to Iona.
Wow, you know Robert Calvert! He is a close friend. My son, Daniel, did his first church placement in the Scottish church in Rotterdam, which Robert was pastoring then. We also did some years ago a book launch on urban missions – one of his passions, at the Orthodox Seminary in the University here. He later did a course on urban missions there.
By the way, where do you live?
And finally, if you want to see some of the work I did on Orthodoxy and other topics, go a search on my name on academia.edu. You may find some things, including my doctoral work, which might interest you.

Thanks for the reply! No, I am not Romanian, but I am a long-time folk dancer and the Romanian, Bulgarian and Macedonian dances are my favorites. I was a German major in college and studied in Germany in ’76-’77. During semester break I made a trip of a big circle through northern (at the time) Yugoslavia, up the middle of Romania through Brasov to Cluj and then to Budapest and Vienna. I was going to go to Bucharest, but that was the year of the big earthquake -it happened while I was in Belgrade – and thought it best to avoid the city at that time.
Interestingly, I “blame” Wright and his historical studies for me becoming Orthodox… I didn’t go to Orthodoxy just because it was old. I also see the damage pietism brings (in Orthodoxy or anywhere else), and agree with you that monasticism is very often wrongly viewed as the only committed way – though those who have such a view ignore the bulk of monastic teaching on the matter! I was searching for a holistic theology, and the more I learned about Orthodoxy, the more I thought, “I already believe that…” I rattled on a lot of doors, and when I opened that one, I found the Lord. There is really no other reason to go through any doorway.
I hope you do meet Fr Seraphim. I think you would get along very well. I recently met Church of Scotland pastor Robert Calvert and his wife Lesley – their son is a teacher in a nearby community – lovely people.
Hristos a inviat!

Hi, Dana. Are you Romanian?
Thanks for stopping by. I have many friends whi browse through here, and who usually do not comment – they are not the ‘commenting’ kind – but I am glad some find by rumbling helpful.
As you probably found out, I did a PhD in Orthodox theology, and I usually ‘blame’ Orthodoxy for turning Anglican. I must confess I was never tempted to become Orthodox. I don;t have the staff Orthodox people are made of. I am structurally opposed to the ultra-conservatism that Orthodox people usually manifest – though there are exceptions; Frank Schaeffer is one of them. I am not fan of mildew – I do not believe that things – language, artefacts, doctrines, liturgies, are better because they are old. I do not see the connection. I am also an arch-enemy of philetism, a heresy that haunts Orthodoxy wherever it dominates. And much more.
Yet, I have deep appreciation for academic Orthodox theology in general and for certain aspects in Orthodox spirituality, with the exception of its inherent impression that if one is serious with spirituality they have to become monastics, or they will never be fully committed. This is absolute rubbish for me.
I do not know Fr Seraphim, though I have many Orthodox friends in England (Oxford and Cambridge) and in Scotland. As I have a fascination for Celtic spirituality and Iona (I have been four time there), of he settles on Mull, I might visit him. My son lives in Glasgow (he is a minister in the Church of Scotland) and I will have many opportunities to do it.
All the best to you from Iasi, Romania.
PS WE may communicate by email also, as this is a space for more public discussions. God bless!

Hello, Danut – I check you blog from time to time and have very much enjoyed your perspective over the past few years – somehow found a link to your blog in my Emerging Church internet wanderings. I found myself migrating out of +30 years of US Evangelicalism, not on the road to Canterbury – though I was attracted in that direction for a while. My life has been punctuated by Episcopalians who have been kind to me, and then there is N.T. Wright… but I could not affirm the 39 Articles – had major problems with all of Western theology except for Wright (because his is actually basically pre-schism). I was also not interested in returning to the Roman Catholic church where I was raised. Orthodoxy came at me out of left field, and except for a couple of things I had to work through, every time I turned around and found out something new about Orthodox theology, I found myself saying, “I already believe that…” I was received on Pentecost 2009.
All that to say, I wonder if you know anything about this?
http://www.mullmonastery.com/
Having read that you have some connection to Celtic Christianity, I thought you might be interested. I have met Fr Seraphim and find him to be a lovely person. He is quite busy and can’t keep his blog very current right now, but when you get to Britain again I’m sure he would welcome you very heartily and really enjoy speaking with you, especially in limbra romana 🙂

cred ca exista o anumita randuiala pe care insasi biblia o are ,chiar daca ea nu este specifica oficierii actului botezului.
exista specificatii clare in ceea ce spune biblia ca el a dat pe unii invatatori, pe altii care sa pastoreasca turma , pe altii care sa administreze s.a.m.d.
imi place sa cred ca exista invatatura clara ,ce delimiteaza insarcinarile in ce priveste slujirea in trupul lui Christos.asta ca regula generala.

Pe scurt, Biblia nu are porunci precise despre cine poate sau nu sa boteze. In mod normal, botezul ar trebui celebrat de o persoana ordinata si recunoscuta de biserica, dar in cazuri extreme, chiar si bisericile istorice recunosc inclusiv botezul savirsit de femei.

DESPARTIRILE NE DOR !
(un omagiu adus poetului crestin Ionatan Pirosca)
Oamenii care au trait in doua regimuri, doua secole, in doua stari si mai ales au avut de infruntat nevolnicia vremilor, a regimurilor si a semenilor, oamenii acestia au un mesaj deosebit de transmis. Pe deasupra tuturor acestor strangeri si constrangeri si serpuiri printre si pe sub stanci – adica bolovani – prietenul si fratele Ionatan, mereu increzator si visator, s-a nascut si a trait cu maietria cuvantului clar rostit si rostuit, purtator de valente, de taine si invataminte. Asa l-a primit, asa ni l-a daruit.
Acum, la trecerea lui in lumea dreptilor, fie-mi ingaduit ‘iubiti iubitori’ ai cuvantului care inalta, care invata si mai ales care lumineaza, fie-mi ingaduit sa aduc omagiul nostru al tuturor omului care a luptat cu sabia cuvantului, cu palosul exprimarii calde si neduplicitare.
L-am cunoscut in tumultul bataliei pentru promovarea versului romanesc si crestinesc, in inimaginabila lui traire a cuvantului armonios ’’pe stil nou’’ de care a ramas legat toata viata lui. Era riguros in tot ce scria si ce facea, evita cu sarg polemicile de orice natura, iar atunci cand nu le putea ocoli cu nici un chip era aprig si neinduplecat. Argumentul lui forte era : viata mea atarna doar de mila lui Dumnezeu si se numara oricum in zile, de ce m-as face vrasmas adevarului ce mi-a fost revelat ? Il voi marturisi asa cum l-am primit, oricare ar fi pretul pe care va trebui sa-l platesc…
Dupa ce a petrecut ani lungi in scaunul cu rotile si s-a obisnuit cu gandul ca ’’…trebuie sa mor’’, imi scria cu ceva timp in urma ’’Ma simt si traiesc atat de bine cat o poate face UN OM care tocmai a primit un al doilea diagnostic mortal ! ‘’
Si astfel pentru cel care se numea pe sine ’’Omul ca semn de intrebare’’ puntea suferintelor s-a rupt si el a trecut de partea cealalta unde e pace.
L-am pretuit si l-am citit pe poetul Ionatan Pirosca. Am inceput cu cartea « Sabia Domnului si a lui Ghedeon » pe care mi-a daruit-o cu dedicatie, Apoi am tras cu urechea si am aruncat privirea pe « Cuvinte la schimb », insa serialul riguros si amplu, publicat pe wordpress.com, intitulat « Jurnalul scrierii iubirii » ar putea sa va convinga pe oricare dintre dumneavoastra cei care iubiti poezia, ca ne despartim de unpoet de mare talent pe care Domnul l-a lasat printre noi numai doua etape din viata : tineretea si maturitatea.
Oare cum ar fi aratat si ce tezaur poetic ne-ar fi lasat Ionatan Pirosca-batranul, daca ar mai fi ramas printre noi ? A plecat la Domnul aproape tanar si astfel despartirea ne doare si mai mult. Dar il vom regasi in vesnicii si mai tanar si vom relua impreuna « realitatea trairii iubirii… »
Iti multumim Doamne, Care dai daruri oamenilor, Iti multumim pentru mesajul ce ne-ai trimis prin glasul lui Ionatan.
Te rugam sa-i mangai pe toti cei care il plang.

Pace,
Ma numesc Ionut Chirita si sunt student in anul IV la ITP. Va rog daca puteti sa imi trimiteti, daca stiti, adresa fratelui Jemna.
Am o intrebarea pt dansul, dar poate stiti si dumneavostra. Imi puteti da numele unui teolog arminian care sa fi scris o teologie sistematica?
Multumesc anticipat.

pai nu e securist. e un frate (oare ce denominatie?) care regreta ca acum esti lup si el e oaie. acesta oaie are apucaturi foarte violente, cica sa te impuste in cap. nici macar in inima. sau altundeva. e foarte frustrat baiatul. ce n-ar fi dat sa fie si el lup, dar n-a avut curajul. i s-a facut rau ca a ratat ocazia si acum vomita la tine pe blog.
e si analfabet, sau semi-analfabet, ca nu prea stie sa scrie. deci esti comentator, aparator, colaborator, tradator, vagabond, lup travestit. a reusit 41 de cuvinte din care 5 scrise gresit. mai mult nu poate. e de la tara sau sta la periferia unui oras mic, munceste fizic, poate e pensionar chiar. are fişa la glumetzi şi pensie mica. e nervos ca nu si-a luat medicamentele saptamina trecuta, farmaciile nemaiavind fonduri pentru retete compensate. si pt ca nu mai poate turna, acum s-a oferit voluntar. crede ca face o munca de mare importanta.

Danut, am vazut/gasit recent pe GodTube.com (www.tangle.com) un video-report-documentar interesant:
Journey to Antioch Presented by St. Elijah Orthodox Church
http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=ed1f4f3d2efd6dd8bbcd
Eu am fost pasionat de acest movement de evangelici (mai ales chiar lideri la Campus Crucade for Christ) care dealungul de aproape 20 de ani au cerut sa intre cu mai multi de 2000 de persoane in biserica Ortodoxa antioheana.
Am citit si scris un cometariu la:
“Becoming Orthodox: A Journey to the Ancient Christian Faith” by Peter Gilquist
si singurul comentariu (unul mai larg) despre
“Metropolitan Philip His Life and Dreams”

Eu cred ca le-ar face bine unilor cititori evanghelici sa cunoasca aceste fapte. Probabil ii vor face sa gandeasca … ce are biserica Ortodoxa ce nu are biserica Neo-Protestanta ?

Danut,
Iata I am making you aware of another great blog topic from Evangel with some critical thoughts on the logic of Bart D. Ehrman (the darling of the Agnostic-Atheist-Liberal-Christians in the USA).
http://firstthings.com/blogs/evangel/2009/11/bock-erhman/
I have read Bart extensively, because he is a textual criticism and Antiquity historical expert (speaks and reads 7 ancient languages) and is a pupil/evel of Bruce Metzger.
He is most well know to the average reader for his “Misquoting Jesus” (2006), now (2009) for “Jesus Interrupted” and earlier in 2002/2003 “Lost Christianities” and “Lost Scriptures.”
To the scholars or the nerdy ones he is know for “The Orthodox Corruption of Scriptures” and “Studies in the Textual Criticism of the New Testament”.
He also co-wrote with Bruce M. Metzger “The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration”
Have you heard or read much about him? Maybe you will allow me to write a short article on him for you blog?
La Multi Ani!

I totally understand what you are saying and writing Danut. It is the sarcasm of such limiting terms “liberal” or “conservative” that used to be used in political arenas, now are also used as labels in the religious sphere.
As your thoughtful explanation shows, it is most important to realize WHAT the term means in the context and by the person who uses it.
That is why when someone uses labels to describe themselves (some circumstances and shortage of time necessitate) I try to ask what the term means for a person.
For example, I want to consider myself a Follower-of-Christ and an Ecumenist who happens to serve and worship in a liturgical Lutheran local church.
Just the pure use of these terms means that I prefer
1) “follower-of-Christ” over Christian (in the American cultural context);
2) Ecumenist over Protestant because my Christianity should strive for the unity that existed in the “one holy catholic & apostolic Church” of the 1st millenium and as we profess in the Creed;
3) “liturgical Lutheran local church” because that is the denomination and worship style that I feel most comfortable with, but it is THE LEAST important of the 3 descriptions for me.

Daniel’s blog is on my blogroll in the Protestants section. Here is the link:
http://dmthinktank.wordpress.com/
However, I imagine what he will answer. ‘Evangelicals’ in the Church of Scotland tend to be mere fundmentalists. That is why, it seems to me, my son tries to distinguish himself from them, and rightly so. He’s seen enough of what fundamentalism can do in Romania.
My situation is different. Having joined a denomination that is affected by a liberal mess, I prefer to be in the minority. In fact, I have been a minority all my life, so it’s my natural smell now. 🙂

Draga Danut, vreau sa te intreb care este blogul fiului tau. I like his style (somehow he reminds me of myself) and wanted to bring to his attention a very thoughtprovoking article by Evangel (blog) … “What is Evangelism” http://firstthings.com/blogs/evangel/2009/12/what-is-evangelicalism/
Since they closed my Facebook account I am more limited in who and how I can contact folks. Bummer. But until I get it back, I wanted to continue the conversation with Daniel on this topic (Evangelism). My position is that what sets us (Protestants and neoProtestants) apart from RCC and OC is our emphasis on the Gospel-Evanghelia … thus Evangelical is a proper adjective to carry as a member of a confession/tradition/denomination that is Protestant, imho. What the term entails and comprises … may be very diff. from person to pastor.
