Radivoje Zhivadinovich and Milka Radoicich Zhivadinovich Trust

The Episcopal Council of the Serbian Orthodox Church received a major estate gift in 2006 from the Zhivadinovich Estate for the education of men and women in the fields of Chemistry or Chemical Engineering.The interest is to provide scholarships for students from former Yugoslavia with a bachelor degree or equivalent to study engineering or chemistry in this country.

Only students born in the former Yugoslavia who are age 23 or younger who are accepted for graduate study at a U.S. College or University in the fields of Chemistry or Chemical Engineering are eligible for a scholarship.

Monies are available from earnings generated by the Zivadinovich Trust. The Serbian Church in North and South America was asked to manage this fund, strictly according to provisions of the Trust agreement.

Many scholarship were awarded in the last years.

The Committee of the Zivadinovich Scholarship consists of: His Grace Bishop Maxim, Ron Radakovich and Stevan Davidovich.

Each year, the Committee submits a report on the Fund.

An Unconventional Handbook of Orthodox Theology

by Rev. Vladan Perisic

Foreword
by Fr John Behr

It is a great pleasure to see this work published, making available some of the most important writings of Fr Vladan Perisic over the last couple of decades available, together in one volume, to an English speaking audience. Fr Vladan’s work is well known in Serbia, and in broader academic and ecumenical circles. But it can now receive the much wider readership that it deserves, and, as a collected volume, its scope, coherence, and significance is sure to receive the recognition it deserves.

The eighteen essays collected here treat diverse topics, from academic theology (and its place in the Church) to questions of life and death, from historically oriented studies, on Sts Ignatius and Gregory Palamas, to contemporary issues, such as human rights and ecology. Each of them is characterized by meticulous scholarship and great insight, clarity of thought and expression.
