The entire history of the Orthodox Churches in America could be cast as an ongoing battle between “tradition” and “restorationism.” Tradition has a content but is also constantly changing in response to new surroundings in a manner that seeks to maintain core structures and behaviors. Restorationism is an attempt to restore a (largely imagined) past or, in the cases of many converts to Orthodoxy, a return to that imagined past. These two poles of American Orthodoxy have been in tension with one another throughout its American history. This article surveys restorationist movements within American Orthodoxy in the twentieth century, often led by converts, and their survival or failure within the Orthodox Church. Herbel argues that restorationism focused on behaviors or modes of being and a restorationism that recognizes value in one’s past have a greater chance of successful incorporation into the larger Orthodox Church.

This text discusses several aspects of the interwar history of the Orthodox Church in Romanian Transylvania through the lens of the early life and political achievements of Father Liviu Stan (1910–1973). By using a microhistorical approach, his life stands as proof of the ability of ideological reconversion to describe the various totalitarian challenges that defined the destiny of an entire generation of Orthodox theologians in the twentieth century. Rather than painting the biographical tapestry of Father Stan's life, the main focus of this text falls precisely on his interactions with various ideologies (Fascism and Communism), his ideological and professional reconversions, and Transylvanian Orthodox theologians’ ability to survive when confronted with various totalitarian challenges.

Статья посвящена наиболее продуктивному периоду в истории взаимосвязей между Англиканской и Русской Православной Церквами. С начала ХХ в. к межконфессиональному диалогу подключились высшие иерархи обеих Церквей, отношениями с англиканами занялась специальная Комиссия при Священном Синоде, а в Великобритании был основан Англикано-Восточно-Православный Союз. Участились взаимные визиты богословов, высших церковных и общественных деятелей обеих стран, активизировалось обсуждение вопросов возможного сближения двух Церквей на всех уровнях. Все эти действия привели к более глубокому осмыслению проблемы христианского единения, в частности, к более детальному анализу возможности воссоединения Англиканской Церкви с Православной. Были созданы условия для широкого обсуждения всего комплекса вопросов, связанных с данной проблематикой. В данной статье анализируются результаты усилий обеих Церквей по разрешению имеющихся противоречий в ходе первого десятилетия ХХ в. В дальнейшем дискуссии по поискам путей сближения были продолжены вплоть до революционных событий в России в 1917 г. The article is devoted to the most productive period in the history of relations between the Anglican and Russian Orthodox Churches. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, when the highest hierarchs of both Churches have joined the inter-confessional dialogue, a special Commission of the Holy Synod has been engaged in relations with Anglicans, and the AnglicanEastern Orthodox Union was founded in Great Britain. Mutual visits of theologians, senior Church and public figures from both countries have become more frequent, and discussions on possible rapprochement between the two Churches at all levels have intensified. All these actions led to a deeper understanding of the problem of Christian unity, in particular to a more detailed analysis of the possibility of the reunification of the Anglican Church with the Orthodox Church. There were created conditions for a broad discussion of the entire range of questions related to this issue. This article analyzes the results of the efforts of both Churches to resolve the existing contradictions during the first decade of the twentieth century. Further discussions on the search of ways of rapprochement were continued until the revolutionary events in Russia in 1917.

The article is devoted to imyaslavia - a religious and mystical movement in the Russian Orthodox Church, which, having arisen due to theological disputes, soon opposed itself to the canonical Church and left it. The work also examines the figures of modern non-canonical Orthodoxy, who consider themselves the ideological and spiritual successors of the Imiaslavites of the first half of the twentieth century.

This essay examines the objects in George Oppen's Discrete Series (1934). It considers their primary property to be their hardness – many of them have distinctively uniform and impenetrable surfaces. This hardness and uniformity is contrasted with 19th century organicism (Gerard Manley Hopkins and John Ruskin). Taking my cue from Kirsten Blythe Painter I show how in their work with hard objects these poems participate within a wider cultural and philosophical turn towards hardness in the early twentieth century (Marcel Duchamp, Adolf Loos, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others). I describe the thinking these poems do with regard to industrialization and to human experience of a resolutely object world – I argue that the presentation of these objects bears witness to the production history of the type of objects which in this era are becoming preponderant in parts of the world. Finally, I suggest that the objects’ impenetrability offers a kind of anti-aesthetic relief: perception without conception. If ‘philosophy recognizes the Concept in everything’ it is still possible, these poems show, to experience resistance to this imperious process of conceptualization. Within thinking objects (poems) these are objects which do not think.
