Always love God and one another

Interview with Fr. Kyril from the missionary centre and the monastic community Holy Ascension of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in Melbourne, Australia

1. Father Kyril, your blessing! Please, introduce us to your background.

I call God’s blessing upon you and thank you for the opportunity to share our experiences with your readers. I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and have lived most of my life in Melbourne. I come from mixed parentage: my Father and his ancestors are Greeks who can trace their lineage to various locations throughout the former Ottoman and Byzantine Empires; and my mother is an Armenian from the Egyptian city of Alexandria. Her Armenian ancestors eventually settled in Alexandria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a result of their expulsion from the Ottoman Empire like many people who at that time were fleeing the systematic genocide at the hands of the Ottomans. I had what I consider a blessed upbringing in a loving environment. By around the age of 15 or 16 I began to be more interested in the Orthodox Christian faith and began attending various parishes mostly Greek Orthodox, and began to be involved with their parish youth group and fellowship activities.

СЕКОГАШ ИМАЈТЕ ЉУБОВ КОН БОГ И МЕЃУСЕБНО

Интервју со јеромонахот Кирил од мисионерскиот центар и монашка заедница „Свето Вознесение“ на Руската Задгранична Православна Црква во Мелбурн, Австралија

Човештвото, посебно западниoт свет, во денешното време наголемо тргнало да оди по широкиот пат. Тој дух на хедонизам и конформизам владее и во далечната Австралија. Монаштвото пак, е избор на одење по тесниот пат и сведоштво на Христос во овој свет. На овој континент постои голем глад за автентичен духовен живот, а малку вакви монашки центри кои би го задоволиле. Околу манастирите и монаштвото се собираат претежно млади луѓе, привлечени од ним дотогаш непознатото сведоштво на Христос и желни да ја запознаат што подобро православната вера, која за повеќето од нив е верата на нивните предци, и да ја живеат. Јеромонахот Кирил, млад Австралиец, е настојател на еден ваков мисионерски центар и монашко братство во Мелбурн, под омофорот на Неговото Високопреосвештенство Митрополитот Иларион од Руската Задгранична Православна Црква. Заради нашите многубројни обврски средбата постојано се одложува, и конечно успеваме да го реализираме интервјуто за „Премин“ на денот на Вознесението Христово, празникот на кој е посветен манастирот на о. Кирил. Continue Reading »
