Saint Fevronia was a descendant from Mesopotamia, and her parents were Christians, Because of her rare beauty and beacuse the pagans were continously annoying the young virgin, her parents were fo rced to send her to convent when she was only 17 years of age, where the abbess was her aunt, Vryeni. It was there that Fevronia passed her time captivating the sisters with her virtue and the sweetness of her soul. But the storm of persecution soon broke out in the convent. A group of soldiers was passing through the desert looking for Christians, and they soon reached Fevronia's convent. The other sisters managed to leave before danger arrived, but Fevronia remained because of ill-health, When the soldiers saw the nun, they were surprised at her beauty and wasted no time in informing their leader, Selinus. Selin us ordered that Fevronia appear before him immediately. When he saw her he was silenced by her beauty. He tried forcing her 10 make a sacrifice to the pagan gods, but in vain. Then, infuriated, he ordered her body to be cut with a knife and her entrails burnt with candles. Following this the Holy Martyr's life ended with the sword. But the justice of God followed soon. The evening of the same day Selin us became insane. Half-naked, he ran through the rooms of his house, screaming. The people attributed this to God and soon they all confessed faith in Fevronia's religion. The Church once again had conquered.

Yet we so often confuse it with our own ideas, thus rendering it unapprochable and even hateful for our contemporary world. Or else we complicate it with aur own prejudices, thereby making it boring or useless for contemporary man. It is not sufficient to tell someone that if he does this or that good and if he avoids this or that evil he will "go to heaven". Yau must offer him more than what would perhaps satisfy a Sunday School child. Otherwise he will react or, worse, become indifferent. And rightly so. For even Christ Himself did not try to make us better persons, nor did He advise us unceasingly. He had only one purpose, namely to give Himself 10 us entirely, to offer us His Kingdom - to us sinners (10: 6) -, thai is to love us. There are two points from the above words of our Lord that should be emphasised: Firstly, when our Lord stresses that the Kingdom of heaven is not at some distance but is very close to us, at hand, He is in fact reminding us that it is as close to usasour neighbour, our fellow human. The more, therefore, we "love our neighbour" the more we approach the Kingdom (Matt. 5: 43). Our salvation is not something abstract but we find it in our neighbour to whom we must hand ourselves over in love. For whatever we do to our brethren, we do to Christ Himself: whether we offer him a glass af water or a plate of foad when he lacks these; or whether we give him some warmth or comfort when he needs these; or when we simply stand beside him at a time of need (Matt. 25: 31 ff). So it is up to us whether we approach the Kingdom of God; it is in our hands! And the more fully human we are, the more Gadly we become; the more we stretch our hand out to the world the more we bring the Kingdom within our reach, ' The second point to be underlined inthewordsofchrist is that our neighbour is, above all, Christ Himself. For "God so loved the world that Hesent His only begotten Son " (John 3: 16) : and Christ took up flesh, became man, walked among us, entered human history, the hislory of every human, he entered our very hearts and became our Neighbour. In this way he was able 10 say that the Kingdom of God is ta be found nowhere else but "within us" (Luke 17: 21), inside us. This means that He handed Himself over to us completely, that He loved us to the end, that the Lord and Master of all gave Himself overto us, placing Himself ataurdisposal. And we, in turn, may love Him or hate Him, we may caress or kick Him, kiss Him or betray Him. Our relationship with Christ is by nature so personal that with every act, word or even thaughl we can ignore Him or worship Him, For "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand... "it is within yau". F r. J.

5 The word of God and youth On the occasion of the Inlernatlonal Youlh Year, Ihe Church could not offer a more valuable gift to the Youth than to remind them of the significance which the word of God has especially for this critical age. By Archbishop Stylianos of Australia To be young is at the same time a privilege and a lest. Every great issue of man's life is at the same time something that is granted and accountable. This proves that, on the one hand God loves man and grants him gifts; but on the other hand God respects man and does not wish to underestimate his freedom. Therefore God calls man to work in a spirit of co-operation, in "synergy", as Orthodox Theology states. God gives the "capital resources", providing us with the significant gift of life, and expects us to multiply our talents with our "personal work ". Therefore all fundamental and essential goods of life are guaranteed by God's generosity, and at the same time entrusted and confided to our own selfrespecting initiative. This precisely is the grandeur of all great matters, namely their antinomian character. So among the beautiful and great things in life is to be young, to have the feeling that the morning of Creation has not yet come to an end. Unfortunately, young people often do not acknowledge this privilege. They feel at a disadvantage before people advanced in age and established in society. A basic prejudice fatally leads to this wrong assessment of things. In our pragmatistic and materialistic society, we have become accustomed to identifying freedom and power with money and socia-economic liberation. According to this wrong idea, the person who has no money or involvement in the network of the "status quo", is considered neither free nor powerful, and young people usually have so little money, since even for their mere "pocket- money" they depend in most cases on the favourof adults. However, money soon disappears and has only conventional value. The status quo is upturned at the first sociopolitical change. Therefore it's the inner qualities of the person that remain undisturbed up to the grave and even beyond the grave. Such qualities are not won from one minute to the next, as in the case of material goods in the success of a commercial negotiation, or the good fortune of a lottery ticket. The inner qualities of the person are built silently and with sacrifice from an early tender age, and there is no steadier foundation for the personality of man than the word of God. But the people receiving the word of God differ among themselves. The famous parable of the Sower plainly teaches this to us (Mat. 13, 1-52). Among the hearers of God's word, those more apt to embrace the divine message and to bear fruit accordingly are the young people. For this reason Christ said : "no one pours new wine into old wineskins" (Mat. 9, 17). New wine is the message of Christ, and young people are needed. Now which are the principles that characterise and differentiate young people from old and aged ones? 1. Young people have not yet been tied down to one or another form of life style, mentality, or set of customs. Therefore the youth feel a lot more inner freedom, and for this reason they feel stronger. 2. By feeling this inner freedom and strength, young people are not obliged to be hypocritical and to do things they do not believe. Hypocricy is the dress of the coward and of the weak, and constitutes the behaviour of the slave. In general therefore young people are more sincere, even though this Sincerity isat times misinterpreted as impudence or coarseness, and sincerity may indeed result in impudence and coarseness, when it ceases to be accompanied by decency and humility. 3. Being more sincere and spontaneous, young people become more sympathetic in their environment. They are more welcomed by every well-disposed person, and one may soon confide in them one's own friendship. 4. With the above qualifications, young people can become more heroic and eagerly led to sacrifice, and the word of God requires sacrifice. It is also characteristic that the young suffer even for the ideals of this world. Persons who are immolate and sacrifice themselves always come from the ranks of young people. Because young people have not capitulated to self interest and pettiness of low life. Of course, young people will need to learn from the experience and wisdom of adults the following plain and great truth, which epitomises man's entire nobility. The most heroic sacrifice is not to commit suicide by a violent gesture at a moment of exasperation, but to elevate your life continually and with endurance, to higher and higher levels, fighting throughout one's whole life against what is opposed to the light and the truth. i II YOUTH SECTION II Youth Conference I Following upon the National youth Conference of 1984, several Australian States will be conducting individual Conferences, later this year. The N.S. W. Conference will be h.osted by the Bankstown Parish of St. Euphemia on 25th and 26th August. The theme "Tradition and Life" is identical with the National Meeting Theme, the purpose being to take it further by way of commentary and active discussion. National and State Conferences are not intended to be. merely a gathering of Orthodox Christians. Their purpose is to develop understanding by Orthodox Christians of their faith. The transformation of the Services and Church History into a life experience. Thereby, Orthodoxy becomes a vibrant meaningful part of a person's life not some historic ancient faith. The Organising Committee has already had three meetings for planning the Conference. The next meeting is on June 18th at the Bankstown Parish Hall. A good representation of parish Youth from the Metropolitan Parishes is involved on this Committee. This is fitting as 1985 is International Youth Year. All persons are invited to contribute to the success of this important Conference. Registration forms are available at the Archdiocese and Parish Churches. J. Comino Convener, N.S.w.

7 His Eminence Archbishop Stylianos A TRIBUTE TO TEN YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE The Church in Australia flourishes. testimony to the oneness of Orthodoxy and the Greek soul. Ten years have passed since the Holy Synod at Constantinople placed in our midst a new spiritual leader. His Eminence Archbishop Stylianos. The ten years have been turbulent, challenging. symptomatic of a vital community in rapid evolution. Progress there has been,. measured as numbers of adherents. priests ordained, parishes founded. churches built. schools established. welfare centres developed. indeed in those matt ers immediately concerned with the spiritual and cultural wellbeing of the Hellenes of Australia. This is no mean feat in a society impregnated with philistine values and acute cynicism. The Archbishop is a public figure. recognised by all. but one may ask. how well do people know this man whose destiny it is to spiritually care for seven hundred thousand Australians of Greek heritage? He is seen often; a leaderin worship; a fearless and passionate speaker; he is a presence. We see him as caring, compassionate but we see him also ina strong, unyielding stance when it comes to issues which threaten principle and conscience. He speaks with the conviction of one who is absolutely certain of his faith. his sense of history. his intellect. Archbishop Stylianos could have pursued a career in Academia - after all he had been Associate Professor in Systematic Theology at the University of Thessaloniki. Currently he lectures in Theology at the University of Sydney. He is recognised internationally as a scholar, a Theologian. a poet of distinction. Seven of his volumes of poetry have been published and more than forty theological and philosophical essays. It is pertinent to mention some of the awards and recognition given him, jf for no other reason than to indicate an intellectual dimension which is not generally known within the Community. I could cite the prestigious Gottfried von-herder Prize which he was awarded in 1973 (an international literary prize); the 1980 Prize of the Academy of Athens (for his published poems); a Visiting Professorship at the University of Regensburg in Germany (1973); the invitation from the University of Graz, Austria. to lecture there (in German. his second language after Greek) on the occasion of the 400th Anniversary of the establishment of the Theological Faculty; his giving of the keynote address at the Seventh Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Theological Schools. These are examples which spring to mind - the list is not exhaustive. In another type of international forum. His Eminence has taken a leading role in discussions with the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. He is co-chairman of The Joint Official Commission for Theological Oialogue between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The implications of such dialogue are momentous. Within the Greek Community of Australia the ten year period has been characterised by innovation. A new and expansive spirit, an early taste of things to come, was introduced for the celebrations (in 1976) of the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia. His Eminence. Archbishop lakovos of North and South America represented His All Holiness the Oecumenical Patriarch. As well there came distinguished representatives of the ecclesiastic and academic world of Greece. The meetings were alive; they were not parochial; they involved to a substantive degree appropriate elements of the general Australian community. The same spirit pervaded the later Clergy Laity Congresses held in Sydney (1981) and in 8risbane (1985). Procedures more comprehensive and more professional than before were clearly in evidence. The 1981 Congress was honoured by the attendance of representatives of the Oecumenical Patriarchate. 80th the 1981 and 1985 Congresses were honoured with the presence of the Governor-General of Australia. An important development reflecting the concern by His Eminence for the Greek Orthodox youth of Australia was the institution of biennial National and State Youth Conferences. At these conferences our youth are encouraged to understand the value of heritage. the value of their bicultural existence, to voice their concerns and apprehensions, to work out solutions, to communicate and work with the clergy and the lay members of the Church. It must be regarded a progressive step. One could go on to mention the further development and organisation of the Church schools system to be undertaken by a newly formed Archdiocese Education Committee; the setting up of bicultural day schools such as Saint Spyridon College. Kingsford; t he organisation of Saint Andrew's Theological College which wi II commence in February 1986; the expansion in scope and number of homes for the aged; the establishment of the Saint Andrew's 8rotherhood for furthering the mission of the Church in general. Again I must emphasise that this is only a selection from the broad spectrum of activities pursued under the guidance and with the inspiration and direct involvement of His Eminence. It is my feeling that the spirit of these few words of tribute will have wide acceptance. It is a modest recognition of the efforts of a man whose life is completely dedicated to serving the Hellenes of Australia. Prof. Manuel James Aroney, o.s.e. University of Sydney Corresponding Member of the Academy of Athens Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission of Australia. 83

9 At first sight the Anniversary of the Battle of Crete appears to be unrelated to religious life in general, and more particularly to th e life of a true Christian. Yet, our life, in our fallen state of existence, extends over all aspects of its experience in the world. It includes periods of peaceful existence, as well as wars of all kinds, and presupposes our involvement in the stru ggles and an xieties that result from th e injustice imposed on nations or individuals. ) A MEMORIAL * We have assembled at this Cathedral Church today in order to remember those heroic people, both Australians and Greeks, who offered their life at the memorable BaUle of Crete in 1941 for the high and noble cause of true liberty_ But first, let me express my gratitude to His Eminence Archbishop Stylianos for honouring me to represent him at this Memorial Service, at which he would love to officiate personally, if tie were in Sydney, not merely because he is a Cretan himself, nor also because the death of his father is associated with the events of this Battle, but mainly because His Eminence is a great supporter of the ideal of freedom. In the short service that was just completed, we offered glory, praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many gifts to us, and especially for the gift of liberty, "wherewith Christ has made us free" (Gal. 5, 1). Thus, when the eternat values and ideals, by which humankind is nourished and strengthened, are openly violated by the selfish and arrogant demands of some, then defending one's own rights is the only alternative that rem ains for one's very survival. The Church has always been the ark for the preservation of one's freedom. Furthermore, it has always been the constant guarantee for justice among people, And when people are denied suc h privileges, then it takes the side of those that suffer from injustice - and runs to their defence, In this respect. those who took part in the Battle of Crete are able to relate ample evidence of their c lose association with Arcadi and other monasteries and Church authorities in Crete, Now, in supporting ac ti ve defence against an enemy, the Church does not extol war as such; rather, it condemns war as a necessary evil and actively protests against its blatant infliction. When Australians and Greeks joined forces against the common enemy at the Battle of Crete, they did so for the restoration of freedom and the preservation of the sense of dignity for th e human person in general, even that of the enemy. And they did so at a very high price: they laid down their life for others, Indeed, there can be no greater sacrifice than this - "that a man fay down his life for his friends" (John 15, 13). 50, th e Memorial Service today brings memories of the heroic Battle to some; creates sentiments of admiration for high ideals in others; and instills in us all a deep sense of gratitude towards our brothers who fell at the battlefield for faith and freedom, We are thankful to God for this great country of Australia, in which we enjoy the high democratic ideals that Originated in Greece. The fact that we enjoy freedom today makes the remembrance of the Battle of Crete an ever memorable anniversary and presents to the entire world the great lesson that the gift of freedom is worth more than all other goods. Brothers and sisters, we have offered our prayers in behalf of our brothers who sacrificed their lives on the fields of battle for the noble cause of freedom, justice and peace, What remains for us to do is to proclaim to all in a loud voice that we shall imitate their example in this beloved land of Australia in our struggle to perpetuate the high ideals tor which others laid down their very life. May this Memorial Service be an appropriate occasion for all of us, both to dedicate ourselves to those high ideals in life and to manifest our willingness to continue to be always faithful to them.
