Српскохрватски језик се некада изучавао на универзитетима у више од 30 земаља света, а данас се српски језик као самостални студијски програм учи у само 12 градова у Европи. Из године у годину смањује се број лектората српског језика или се услед недостатка наставника постављају лектори хрватског или босанског језика. Француска и Италија само су неке од држава у којима се број лектората српског језика смањио, а укинути су у Сиднеју, Келну, Салцбургу и Гранади. Једини изузетак су Сједињене Америчке Државе, где је интересовање чак повећано, али се на универзитетима у Америци српски учи у оквиру БХС језика (босански, хрватски, српски).

On The Holy Liturgy

by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich

The Divine Liturgy is at the center of Orthodox Christian life. It is through the Eucharist that the faithful are united with Christ and therefore with one another. Every Eucharistic gathering is an image and a reality of the Heavenly Liturgy, i.e. unceasing Synaxis of angels and saints around God’s throne. Thus the Liturgy is the proclamation of and a real image of God’s Kingdom in this world.

In this television interview conducted by the Logos, a renowned Orthodox theologian and retired Bishop of Zahumlje and Hercegovina, his Grace Atanasije, brings forth these essential points citing historical development of the Liturgies bringing to light the present misunderstanding of certain Liturgical actions and movements.

Bishop Atanasije aptly points out the necessity for Liturgical renewal, i.e. moving away from passive liturgical attendance to active participation and immersion of the soul and body into a full communion with Christ.
