Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine is more than just a geo-political conflict. The Russian leader believes in the spiritual destiny of a united 'Holy Rus' that goes back to the conversion of Vladimir the Great in 984. Ukrainian Orthodox scholar Fr Cyril Hovorun and Catholic journalist Clifford Longley discuss how the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church plays into the conflict and what can be done. Justin also speaks to Ukrainian Christian leader Sergey Rakhuba of Mission Eurasia about the church response to the refugee crisis.   Fr Cyril Hovorun: https://www.sanktignatios.org/dr-cyril-hovorun Clifford Longley: https://www.thetablet.co.uk/editors-desk/2/21568/religious-roots-of-ukraine-crisis- Sergey Rakhuba: https://missioneurasia.org/  Matters of Life &amp; Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 ---   For exclusive resources and to support us:   • Unbelievable?

Putin’s Holy War: The religious roots of the Ukraine invasion - Fr Cyril Hovorun and Clifford Longley (+ Sergey Rakhuba)

This episode of R&amp;T is a recording from a conversation taking place in March, 2021 as a part of the Conversations Series. Professor Hovorun examines how political theology intertwined with realpolitik and how it led to military action in the wars of the 21st century. The conversation delves deeper into the the origin of 'political Orthodoxy' as a concept (or political strategy) and its viable distinction from the Russian world as an idea, as a project, as an ideology, or a cultural mechanism. In dialogue with an audience, Professor Hovorun problematizes the meaningful distinctions between the ideologies of Byzantinism, Orthodoxies and Easternism and proposes novel directions to which Orthodox Christian social policy shall be redirected. ----------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir .The project author and the host of the Conversation Series is Dr. Tornike Metreveli. ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&amp;T, please write an email to religionochteologi@outlook.com.

Religion in Praxis Conversations Series | Cyril Hovorun

Welcome to In Conversation. In this conversation I have the pleasure of talking with Professor Cyril Hovorun a research fellow at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and at the Stockholm School of Theology. He is author of a number of substantial books on public and political theology including the recently published Political Orthodoxies: The Unorthodoxies of the Church Coerced.   I welcome you to our conversation on church and state and the challenges to the Orthodox churches posed by nationalism, fundamentalism and anti- Semitism in the post-Soviet period. I welcome your thoughts on our conversation and may be reached at davidgoa@telusplanet.net.   In February 2014 in the central square in Kiev, the Maidan, we witnessed the Ukrainian Revolution. It was a rare occasion in the history of an Orthodox country. Priests and monks came out to support the people as they challenged political authorities. Professor Cyril Hovorun, a political insider, spoke out eloquently on this occasion. His analysis of the relationship between ecclesiastical leaders and political leaders, between church, state and society drew on his scholarship from Constantine through the Patristic period to the contemporary world. Fr. Cyril is a Patristic scholar and keen observer of how the culture wars in Eastern and Southern Europe turn into bloody conflicts. He focuses on the theological underpinnings of these wars that emerged with the fall of communism and the spiritual renewal of Orthodoxy. In Russia, Ukraine and other countries of Eastern Europe the Orthodox Church became an influential political protagonist. All to often religion is being politicized and weaponized, used in service to narrow nationalism and anti-Semitism. His work calls for a rethinking of the Orthodox doctrine of the Symphonia, the harmony between Emperor and Hierarch, State and Church. His analysis is singular in helping us understand the troubling movements unfolding in many Orthodox countries. His guidance is sorely needed for the church to find its better angels.   Professor Hovorun is a research fellow at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and at the Stockholm School of Theology. He is author of a number of substantial books on public and political theology including the recently published Political Orthodoxies: The Unorthodoxies of the Church Coerced. I welcome you to our conversation on church and state. I welcome your thoughts on our conversation and may be reached at www.davidgoa.ca/contact.
