The pilgrim, with the help of his elder – the spiritual father, explores the secret of the unceasing prayer. He draws God’s wisdom from the Holy Scriptures and the Philokalia. When the pilgrim meets various people on his way, he talks to them about prayer and shares with them his own experience of God’s prayer. The article carried out an analysis of the main issues of the Way of a Pilgrim, namely: the introduction into the Jesus prayer, the transforming power of the Word of God, the fight against passions, and the importance of spiritual guidance in the life of every Christian.

This article is a contribution to the history of Polish Orthodoxy, concerning the issues of the relationship between diocesan development and the formation of monasticism in the Chełm and Belian dioceses. Despite the lack of a full range of archival sources and an insufficient number of scientific studies, the outline below confirms, that these accounts despite of some turbulences (law problems), always confirmed this particular aspect of Polish history, which is called Polish Orthodoxy.

The reasons for conjunctural fluctuations in the economy are of a spiritual nature. God allows a man to act unlawfully for a certain time, but a moment comes when God humbles the running of man. The cessation of economic growth, desired by man, and its subsequent slump occurs according to God’s will, which saves man from self-destruction.

The word “Allah” is associated usually with Islam. However, this term had been used among Arab Christians much earlier before the rise of Islam. Arabic language has been used in Orthodox service for almost 2000 years, so many terms have been developed long time ago. Among the most basic terms are the ones that call God and describe Him. They are used in the hymnography and prayers, sermons, articles and everyday life. However, in Polish literature those terms are still little known. Since Arabic belongs to the Semitic family of languages, its character is very different from Greek, Church Slavonic and Polish, and this affects a different point of view on some theological terms and also their variety. It also results in wealth of the terms related to God. The main reason of the differences in comparison with European languages is specific system of the Arabic language: the system of roots and themes. This is specified in the introductory part. The most basic terms related to God are presented and analyzed below. The terms are taken mainly from the liturgical texts, and some of them also from the Holy Scripture and sermons. Each term is also written in Church Slavonic to make it easier for the reader to understand it, since the Polish Orthodox terminology has not yet been established and unified. Each Arabic term is written in the original notation and ISO transcription used by Arabists in Poland.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the history of the development of the system of diocesan administrations of the unrecognized Belarusian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (BAOC). Formed in 1948–1949, the named religious organization over the next several decades was an influential center for the consolidation of the Belarusian post-war Diaspora. The activities of the parishes of the BAOC were not limited to the organization of services and involved the conduct of social, cultural, educational, publishing and other work. In turn, the control, management and coordination of parish activities largely depended on the principles of organizing diocesan administration. On the basis of the study, it is concluded that the volume of administrative powers of the episcopate is gradually reduced and the role of the laity in the administration of dioceses is strengthened. The noted instability of the diocesan structures of the BAOC in the period under review is explained by the high degree of dependence of the diocesan affiliation of parishes on the relationship with a particular hierarch.

Saint Porphyrios (Bairaktaris) of Kafsokalivia (1906-1991) is one of the most famous contemporary Greek saints. He belonged to one of the most respected in Orthodoxy category of holy Elders, that is, spiritual fathers endowed with the charism of clairvoyance. As an experienced spiritual director, he passed on his pedagogical thought, which focuses on the purpose of Christian life - divinization, the parent’s desire to become a saint and pass on holiness to his children not through discipline and pressure, but through God’s grace, which acts as a parent seeks to sanctify. The Elder opposed unequivocally selfishness, seeing excessive praise as the cause of the poor spiritual development of the child. He emphasized the need to obtain and pass on to the child the humility which he identified with the natural state of man and the necessary condition for obtaining God’s grace.
