The purpose of this paper is to offer a brief overview of the life and activities of Archpriest Aleksa Todorović, a longtime associate of Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich. As the administrator of the Diocese of Žiča, Bishop Nicholai transferred Fr Aleksa Todorović to Kraljevo in 1935. In the following years, Todorović was active in the God Worshipper movement [known also as God–Prayer movement, i.e. Godworshipping movement (in Serbian — богомољачки покрет / bogomoljački pokret)] led by Bishop Nicholai, and from then on their cooperation and closeness began, which would last until Velimirovich’s death. In the God Worshipper movement, priest Todorović was the president of the main administration, and in addition to the general assemblies, he initiated and organized regular quarterly assemblies in the Diocese of Žiča. For the great effort in the pastoral activity, Fr. Aleksa was honored with the rank of archpriest by Bishop Nicholai.
本文的目的是简要概述阿列克谢·托多洛维奇总神父的生活和活动，他是尼古拉·韦利米罗维奇主教的长期助手。作为Žiča教区的行政长官，尼古拉主教于1935年将阿列克谢·托多洛维奇神父调往克拉列沃。在接下来的几年里，托多洛维奇积极参与尼古拉主教领导的敬神运动[也被称为上帝祈祷运动，即敬神运动(塞尔维亚语- богомољачки покрет / bogomolja ki pokret)]，从那时起，他们开始合作和亲密，一直持续到韦利米罗维奇去世。在上帝崇拜运动中，托多罗维奇神父是主要行政部门的主席，除了大会之外，他还发起并组织了Žiča教区的定期季度大会。由于在牧灵活动中的巨大努力，阿列克谢神父被尼古拉主教授予大司铎的称号。

In the Provincial State Archives of Kosovo and Metohija, in the legacy of the distinguished professor and dean of the Orthodox Theological Faculty Archpriest Stevan Dimitrijević, a letter from the Bishop Nicholai (Velimirovich) of Ohrid was found, addressed to Dimitrijević on December 12, 1921. It reveals the Bishop’s thoughts on the God Worshiper movement [or God–Prayer movement — Bogomoljački pokret in Serbian], a brief mention of the disorderly situation in the bishopric entrusted to him, as well as his position that the armed incursions of the Serbian army into the territory of Albania, after the end of hostilities and after the end of the First World War, were wrong. Bishop Nicholai did not comment extensively on Church issues, even though he was the canonical bishop of certain church municipalities in Northern Albania. Although he informed both the state Serbian authorities and the higher ecclesiastical authorities of the Serbian Orthodox Church about the fact that he was prevented from pastoral work and service in the mentioned geographical area, he did not describe it in more detail, because, most likely, he later talked verbally with archpriest Dimitrijević about all the mentioned issues in Southern and Old Serbia.
在科索沃和梅托希亚省国家档案馆中，在东正教神学院杰出教授兼院长斯蒂文·迪米特里耶维奇大神父的遗产中，发现了奥赫里德主教尼古拉(韦利米罗维奇)于1921年12月12日写给迪米特里耶维奇的一封信。它揭示了主教对敬神运动(或塞尔维亚语:bogomolja ki pokret)的看法，简要提到了托付给他的主教辖区的混乱局面，以及他的立场，即在敌对行动结束和第一次世界大战结束后，塞尔维亚军队武装入侵阿尔巴尼亚领土是错误的。尼古拉主教没有广泛评论教会问题，尽管他是阿尔巴尼亚北部某些教会市镇的正统主教。虽然他向塞尔维亚国家当局和塞尔维亚东正教会的高级教会当局通报了他被禁止在上述地理区域从事牧区工作和服务的事实，但他没有更详细地说明，因为很可能他后来与迪米特里耶维奇大神父口头讨论了在塞尔维亚南部和旧塞尔维亚所提到的所有问题。

Political Science, axiology, and history are united through the life and works of Nicholai Velimirovich. Bishop Nicholai moves from the rational to the empirical instance and overcomes the limitations of the causal in the understanding of man’s meaning on earth. For him, as for many spiritual individuals, life on earth is temporary and limited. Velimirovich broke through the boundaries of the acausal and penetrated the spiritual orbit, which he easily interprets with a secular vocabulary. Bishop Nicholai spent his life as a monk and Bishop (in the period from 1909–1956) at the geographical crossing between East and West. The period between monasticism (1909–1920) was the period of his fruitful oratory (1910–1912) and then political and agitation practice (1912–1918). After the diplomatic and humanitarian missions in the Anglo-American countries during the Great War, Velimirovich has ordained a Bishop, first of Žiča (1919–1920), then of Ohrid and Ohrid-Bitola (1920/21–1936), and again of Žiča (1936–1956). The curriculum vitae attached here was written based on the literature of previous authors and the author’s separate research in Anglo-American countries and the Republic of Serbia. The analyzes and results of this paper, as well as the diagram attached, should contribute to assembling the entire picture of Nicholai Velimirovich’s life and as such represents an addition to existing scientific knowledge about the Serbian Bishop, all-Orthodox, and the world.

The advice of St. Bishop Nicholai of Ohrid and Žiča (1881–1956), written nearly 100 years ago rings evermore true as it did during that period of history. With all the troubling current events in our world, we need a reference point to focus both our perspective and response to them.

The aim of this paper is to focus on the connections of Dimitrije Mitrinović (1887–1953) with the Serbian branch of his followers. Additionally, we will pay attention to the place of Nicholai Velimirovich in the circle of Mitrinović’s network. After research based on the archive material of the New Atlantis Foundation (Bradford), we show that the circle of panhumanists from the twenties of the last century was essentially the Serbian branch of Mitrinović’s network (Miloš Đurić, Pavle Jevtić, Vladeta Popović, Dušan Stojanović). Apart from the work on spreading the ideas of Mitrinović, this circle was devoted to occult practice, also under the leadership of a teacher from London. Nicholai Velimirovich, who during his stay in London connected with Mitrinović’s environment, distanced himself from this group after the First World War, to their disappointment. The correspondence of Mitrinović’s followers with Mitrinović from the post–war years reveals how they saw this change in Velimirovich as an abandonment of joint work. In addition, some of Velimirovich’s words that they convey to Mitrinović reveal his clear desire to move away from them. As it is well known, Velimirovich continued on his way. On the other hand, what is more important than the contacts is the influence of Mitrinović’s ideas. All the mentioned names are bearers of a movement that has been called differently — most often “panhumanism.” We can say that Mitrinović’s group is the core and originator of panhumanism in the interwar culture, whose themes then spread to other authors. Considering the importance of panhumanism, the presence of this group in culture is longer (since the early twenties of the 20th century) and more influential than it would seem from the life of the two magazines, and this also means that Mitrinović was more present in the Serbian environment than it seems at first glance. Even if indirectly, he was present through his followers. Velimirovich, who accepted panhumanism during his younger years, however, later moved away from panhumanistic concepts and Mitrinović.
本文的目的是集中在Dimitrije mitrinoviki(1887-1953)与他的追随者的塞尔维亚分支的联系。此外，我们将关注尼古拉·韦利米罗维奇在米特里诺维奇网络圈子中的地位。根据新亚特兰蒂斯基金会(Bradford)的档案资料进行研究后，我们表明，上世纪20年代的泛人文主义圈子基本上是米特里诺维奇网络的塞尔维亚分支(milosi Đurić， Pavle jevtiki, Vladeta popoviki, Dušan stojanoviki)。除了传播米特里诺维奇的思想之外，这个圈子还致力于神秘学的实践，也是在一位来自伦敦的老师的领导下。尼古拉·韦利米罗维奇在伦敦逗留期间与米特里诺维奇的环境保持着联系，但在第一次世界大战后，他与这一团体疏远了，这使他们感到失望。米特里诺维奇的追随者与米特里诺维奇在战后的通信揭示了他们是如何将维里米罗维奇的这种变化视为放弃共同工作的。此外，他们传达给米特里诺维奇的一些维利米罗维奇的话表明了他想要离开他们的明确愿望。大家都知道，韦利米罗维奇继续往前走。另一方面，比接触更重要的是米特里诺维奇思想的影响。所有提到的名字都是一个运动的代表，这个运动有不同的称呼——最常见的是“泛人道主义”。我们可以说，米特里诺维奇的小组是两次世界大战之间文化中泛人道主义的核心和创始人，其主题随后传播给其他作者。考虑到泛人道主义的重要性，这个群体在文化中的存在时间更长(自20世纪20年代初以来)，比两本杂志的生活更有影响力，这也意味着米特里诺维奇在塞尔维亚环境中的存在比乍一看要多。即使是间接地，他也通过他的追随者在场。维利米罗维奇，在他年轻的时候接受了泛人道主义，然而，后来离开了泛人道主义的概念和米特里诺维奇。
