EDITORIAL

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to introduce this very first issue of The Emporium, the new annual catalogue and

literary review of the St George Orthodox Information Service. SGOIS has been striving to serve the

Church for the past 43 years and, during this time, much has changed. Back in 1970, in pre-

internet days, it was possible to reach people only through the limited scope of the printed

medium and via the Post Office. Orthodox News was thus conceived as both the sole means of

making available a catalogue of books and a variety of Orthodox information and news in the

English language. Over the past four decades, however, the terrific growth of Orthodox

publishing and the advent of the internet not only has seen a wealth of information on the Church

becoming easily available, but the rise of e-commerce has also made sustaining a mail order

business difficult with the spiralling costs of postage as well as international on-line competition.

The Emporium is thus offered as a practical response to the changed and changing world in

which SGOIS, still the UK's only Orthodox distribution company, finds itself. Through its pages

we will print our full annual catalogue with a comprehensive list of the best Orthodox books from

the leading publishing houses from around the world. For news about our latest stock items, as

well as spiritual articles and notes and jottings about our church community in Mettingham,

please take a look at our on-line Blog where we publish regular updates and our monthly Bulletin,

Joy of All Who Sorrow.

The publication of just a single catalogue each year will also give an opportunity to invest more

energy and focus on our own publishing projects. With the birth of the Mettingham Orthodox Trust

as a registered charity in 2012 and the blessing of SGOIS’ new head quarters at The College of our

Lady of Mettingham, producing educational and liturgical materials is now a formal aim of the

Trust. In 2013 we have made a start on this through the publication of our Akathist to St Botolph of

Iken, as well as the publication of our Pomyannik for commemoration of the living and departed.

Looking forward to 2014 we hope to make available further unpublished akathists and canons,

together with pocket sized versions of the Prayer Book and the Divine Liturgy as well as a larger

scale project to print the original Psalter of Father Lazarus (Moore). All these are offered to be of

use to Orthodox parishes and bookstalls, at an affordable price and in an attractive format, as part

of a continued service, rather than burden, to the Church.

As you will notice, book reviews are an integral part of The Emporium and we will ensure that

each annual issue will feature a full selection of reviews from our readership, presenting honest,

critical and engaging feedback on some of the latest Orthodox titles in stock. We thus hope you

enjoy browsing through this first issue, and as ever welcome your comments and suggestions. E

TRANSITUS BEATI FURSEI: A Translation of

the 8th Century Manuscript Life of Saint Fursey

translated by Oliver Rackham Paperback

(illustrated) 68pp £12.50

he translation of the Passage of Blessed

Fursey by the Fursey Pilgrims will prove an

invaluable aid in making the life of this

Irish ascetic, missionary and “pilgrim for Christ”

better known. For, not only was St Fursey the first

recorded Irish missionary in Anglo-Saxon

England, before St Aidan had even taken a step

on Holy Island, but his wondrous visions are

recognised as the earliest Christian visionary

literature in the West, and

as one of the most

important inspirations

behind Dante’s epic poem

La Divina Commedia.

The text has been

professionally produced

by Oliver Rackham of

Cambridge University,

and the serious student of

hagiography will have

plenty to be grateful to the

Professor for, including

the juxtaposition of the

original Latin text against

his English translation

(with all the manuscript

omissions, errors and

markings carefully

highlighted) and his

skilful interpolation of the

parallel passages in Bede’s

Ecclesiastical History concerning St Fursey into his

translation.

As a Life of the saint, however, the Transitus is

often frustratingly, even teasingly, short on detail.

We are not told the names of his parents, where

he was born and brought up, how old he was

when he left home and built a monastery. We are

not told where he journeyed and preached

throughout Ireland, nor are we told how or why

he ended up coming to East Anglia, and – most

frustratingly of all - where exactly he built his

monastery beyond the vague reference to “a

certain castle, pleasantly near unto both woods

and sea”. In fact, for biographical detail and

psychological insight, the shorter and later Virtues

of St Fursey handily included at the end of the

book, is more useful, as it does fill in some

plausible biographical gaps in the Transitus,

suggesting, for example, that his motivation for

coming to East Anglia was as part of a greater

pilgrimage to Rome.

Thus whilst the biographical framework

surrounding the visions in the Transitus might be

described as somewhat sketchy, this is more than

made up for by the vivid detail and dramatic

depth with which St Fursey’s visions (or what we

might call today “near-death experiences”) are

narrated - and it was precisely these accounts

which must have set Dante’s

imagination racing. There are

though no Boschian vignettes

with tridents and tongs,

instead the demons are more

convincingly portrayed as

perverse theologians, coldly

quoting Scripture chapter

and verse in order to claim St

Fursey’s soul. The Transitus’

depiction of the role of the

angels here is especially

moving as, at every stage,

they are tirelessly involved in

defending Fursey’s

powerless and mute soul

from the vicious accusations

of the demons, showing in

the process, their brotherly

love for the whole human

creation and that, after death,

the soul is dependent on the

charity of the saints, angels

and the faithful. It is thus ultimately only in this

finite world that we can do anything of eternal

value or harm - it is only in this world that we can

repent.

To finish with some more critical considerations, I

wonder whether the decision to reproduce the

Latin alongside the English, with all the

palaeographical details, may be a little off-putting

and too academically orientated for non-specialist

readers. Moreover, although Rackham’s attempts

to mirror the alliteration of the original is mostly

effective in conveying the rhetorical style of the

text, his penchant for placing the literal over the

sensible does lead to some awkward and bizarre

passages; such as the demonic similitude “their

T

4

heads did swell into the likeness of a casserole

(caccabus)”, when “cooking-pot” may have been

both more accurate and elegant? However,

despite these minor points, this is an academically

robust start in bringing St Fursey back from the

darkness of hagiographical obscurity, allowing us

both a precious foretaste, and salutary warning,

of the transitus which awaits us all.

Mark Tattum-Smith

On The Divine Liturgy (Volume 1) by Bishop

Augoustinos (Kantiotes) of Florina

Paperback, 274pp £12.95

etropolitan Augoustinos of Florina was,

until his death in 2010, a champion of a

traditional approach to the practice of

Greek Orthodox Christianity. Contrary

to popular belief, ‘traditionalists’ do

not put all their energies into writing

fiery denunciations of their

opponents. Instead, they live the

Orthodox Christian Tradition and

witness to it as appropriate to their

role in society. As part of his work as

a bishop, Metropolitan Augoustinos

produced a series of ‘Sunday leaflets’.

These leaflets were aimed not at

scholars but at the average person in

the pew who wants to gain a deeper

understanding of the Divine Liturgy.

These leaflets have been gathered

together into this delightful book.

The sixty-one very short chapters of

volume 1 deal with the Liturgy, from

the preparation to the litanies after

the Gospel. In order to benefit from

the book, one needs to know the text

of the Liturgy or, preferably, have a

copy of it to hand while reading this

book.

The book is not a technical manual, but it does

give simple explanations of some things which

the average layman may not understand, such as

the preparation before the Liturgy. Above all, the

book is a pious reflection on the Liturgy. On

pages 42-43 Metropolitan Augoustinos tells a

very moving anecdote in order to explain why we

constantly sing ‘Lord, have mercy’.

It is impossible to forget that he was writing for a

Greek audience due to numerous cultural

references, but these are not off-putting to a non-

Greek reader. The messages he conveys are

relevant to all Orthodox Christians today. My

favourite chapter is entitled ‘The Congregation’.

In this chapter the bishop warns us about

unbelievers and also the impious behaviour of

many supposed believers. Similarly, he uses the

chapter about the Small Entrance to tell us about

angels – the angels ministering with us at the

Divine Liturgy.

I have two negative comments about the book.

After reading a few chapters, I realised that the

author was still talking about the Great Litany.

There are in fact over 100 pages dedicated to the

Great Litany. This is a little excessive. Then there

is a rather strange chapter entitled ‘Prophecies’.

Old Testament readings have not featured in the

daily Byzantine

liturgy for over a

thousand years, so

this chapter is rather

incongruous. In the

context of Greek

parishes nowadays,

the same comment

could be made

about the chapter

entitled ‘The

Beatitudes’ as these

are rarely sung

outside of

monasteries. So this

chapter does not

relate to the Liturgy

as experienced by a

Greek man in the

pew although it

would be no

surprise to a

Russian reader.

This book is well

worth the investment of £12.95 and is a perfect

present for anyone whose only opportunity to

read a book is short bus journeys. I look forward

to reading volume 2.

Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on

Christians by Raymond Ibrahim

Hardback (illustrated), 322pp £15.75

eaders attuned to current events will be

aware of recent attacks by Muslim

extremists in such places as Pakistan,

Syria, Iraq, Kenya, and Nigeria.

Horrified though we may be, all too often we are

also numb to this revulsion as the media quickly

turns to other news. As such, persecution and

violence against Christians are often perceived

only in isolation and not understood as a wider

phenomenon. It is to this oversight that

Raymond Ibrahim’s new book addresses,

systematically describing hundreds of attacks

against Christians in the

Muslim world over the past

few years alone.

Ibrahim divides the book into

five sections examining the

legal position of Christianity

within Islam, and then

proceeds to the active

opposition against Christian

institutions, worship, thought

and freedom found within

Islamic societies. He also

describes the active (or

neglectful) role of Muslim

governments and the ‘Muslim

mob’, while concluding with a

condemnation of Western

academics, media, and

politicians for their neglect,

whitewashing, and enabling

of modern persecution.

In the face of common assumptions propounded

by Western liberals in recent decades, Ibrahim

argues that the Colonial and Post-Colonial

periods (ca. 1850-1950) were overwhelmingly a

Christian ‘Golden Age’ in the Arabic-speaking

Middle East, in which a spirit of unique tolerance

existed (neglecting the Druze massacre of Greek

Orthodox Christians in Damascus in 1860, or the

genocide of Armenians and Syrian Orthodox in

Turkey around the First World War) due to

Muslim admiration for the power and might of

the proud colonial powers - in ending the

Ottoman Turkish empire - and the resultant

filtering through of Western values such as

religious liberty which this led to. Admiration

turned to disdain and revulsion, however,

following the open rejection of traditional

(Christian) values in the wake of the Sexual

Revolution of the late 1960s. Additionally, as

(secular) Arab nationalism proved an ultimate

failure, Islamic fundamentalism (i.e. Salafists, the

Muslim Brotherhood, jihadists, etc) proved

revitalised, providing simplistic solutions such as

- ‘Islam is the answer’.

Ibrahim will no doubt face critics accusing him of

‘Islamophobism’. Whilst he clearly has an agenda

– to document attacks against Christians in the

Islamic world – the sheer volume of organised

attacks against Christian

individuals, shops, homes,

churches, and monasteries,

suggests that there is

something to his argument.

The author’s fluency in Arabic

has also allowed him to

research news events directly

from the Arabic sources,

examples of persecution all

too often neglected by the

Western media. Had he

waited another year to

publish, his book would

undoubtedly be much longer.

Ibrahim argues that it is

precisely because this “Golden

Age” of religious tolerance

was so close to our own times

that our understanding of the

traditional treatment of

Christians in the Islamic world is distorted.

‘Thus many Westerners see the contemporary

persecution of Christians by Muslims as the historical

aberration, and they seek vainly to explain that

violence away … remembering the relatively non-

violent Islam of just a few decades ago.’

This recent tolerant period was, however, the

anomaly, writes Ibrahim, as we now contemplate

the real possibility that Middle Eastern

Christianity might well become extinct in our

own lifetimes. Lord, have mercy.
