DEAN’S MESSAGE
YOU AND I ARE CONCELEBRANTS
The below article was written by Fr. Sergei Svenshnikov. I share it with you in my August message because in one form or another I have written and preached exactly on the same topic as Fr. Sergei shares with us now.
The principle of correlation or concelebration in Liturgy described by theologian Fr. Alexander Schmemann brings the laity into the equation of the Liturgy and strikes at the very heart of clericalism. Clericalism, at least as it exists in the Russian Church, seems to elevate ordained priests to some strange position within the Church. People are convinced that priests are not normal humans, that they have some special “superpowers” acquired through ordination, and that they are very much separate from the rest of the faithful-as if they were some alien beings. And while these ideas may be correct in some specifics-I do believe that priests receive divine grace from God-they are wrong in principle.
What clericalism breeds with respect to the Liturgy is an attitude that the Liturgy is something that the priest does. The priest becomes a provider of services, and people come to consume these services: watch the Liturgy, pick up some holy water and blessed bread, receive communion, submit some names on a piece of paper, order a memorial service for grandma… The very language that has come into use in Church highlights this consumer attitude: people “order” various services; in fact, often they call and expect to be able to place an order over the telephone. And the most common question is, “How much does it cost?” People want to know the price and decide whether the “product” is worth it. They can always shop around and look for a lower price. To be sure, some people do have an understanding that they must participate in the life of the Church: when they submit a list of names for commemoration at the Divine Liturgy it is the same list that they use in their private prayers, when they ask for a memorial service they expect to be there praying together with the priest, etc. But many lay people treat the Church as a boutique shop of spells and amulets and the priest as a shaman who dispenses them.
“Contrary to popular belief,” however, priests do not possess anything that the Church does not possess. Priesthood is the attribute of the Church which She receives like a crown from Her divine Groom, it is not an attribute of a few special individuals. The royal priesthood of the Body of Christ (1Peter 2:9) becomes focused on an individual priest in the same way that sunlight can be focused by a lense on one spot. So, a priest does find himself in a “spotlight,” but it is not his light-it is the light that belongs to all the faithful; it is the light of Christ shining through His Church. Christ’s priesthood simply does not exist outside His Body, the Church. There cannot in principle be a priest outside the Church. Priesthood is not a quality or a possession of a person; it is the quality of the Church.
Furthermore, if priesthood is the quality of the Church and not of professional priests, then Liturgy is also the function of the Church and not of professional priests. Liturgy is the life of the Church in communion with Christ and not a product “produced” by the clergy and purchased by the lay consumers.
Unfortunately, the way our religious services are organized nowadays is very conducive to the spectator attitude of the laity. Commemorations at the Proskomede are done out of sight and hearing of the faithful, people have no way of engaging with the service and just stand and observe. Of course, people should be praying during the service, and we usually say that this is their way of participating, but consider the following illustration. If a priest is not serving and is simply praying in Church during a Liturgy officiated by another priest, we say that the priest is not serving, even if he takes communion at the appointed place. This is the status of the laity in our churches: they are not serving.
I really like the Jewish synagogue idea of a minyan (10 men must be present to begin a religious service). I am not aware that the Christian Church ever had such a requirement. It is true that a priest cannot serve the Liturgy all alone, but the “where-two-or-three-are-gathered-together” clause requires only one chantor in addition to the celebrant, and there exist various dispensations and exceptions to their rule. But imagine if we required a larger quorum in order to celebrate the Liturgy. People would actually feel the responsibility to be in church in order for the Liturgy to take place. Lay people would feel that their presence is necessary and required, that without them there just may not be a Liturgy-something that every priests feels very intimately. Think of the Liturgy as a family supper. Can the father sit down to a family supper alone? The answer is obvious: without the presence of the community of believers, the Body of Christ, there cannot in principle be a Liturgy, even if the priest is all vested and ready to celebrate? If we had the concept of a minyan for the Liturgy, the idea that the Liturgy begins with the process of the faithful coming together, with God’s children answering the call of the Father and gathering “like olive shoots around (His) table” (Psalm 128:3) – alive, growing, producing fruit, and connected to one root (cf. John 15:5), the idea that the Liturgy begins with my willful act of “manifesting my membership in the Church” by gathering together with my brothers and sisters in Christ for the common work of the Liturgy may become more tangible, visceral and real for the lay faithful.
In Christ,
V. Rev. Fr. John S. Bakas, Dean

PARISH COUNCIL MESSAGE
A MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL PRESIDENT
During August, many of us take advantage of taking some
time for a family vacation. My wife, older brother and I just
returned from a fast trip to the Mammoth area and to attend a
family reunion (second cousin’s wedding reception) in
Gardnerville, Nevada (in the Carson City Valley). The cities
and towns along Highway 395 are as varied as the landscape,
desert ghost towns that had their heyday in the California gold
rush to some of the most sophisticated weapons development
and drone technology juxtaposed to some of the world’s
oldest artwork. Cities dedicated to western life and recreation
including fishing, skiing, off-roading, cycling and equestrian
sports are here and don’t forget hiking and boating of all kinds
We took advantage of the time to do a lot of reflecting, sharing
stories about being with our grandparents, aunts and uncles
and their kids, who lived in towns called Independence, Lone
Pine, Big Pine, Bishop and other Eastern Sierra locations.
Readjusting my thoughts while enjoying the sounds, sights
and smells of nature and traveling across rugged canyons
carved by rushing streams and is home to some of the finest
fall color viewing anywhere, I found time to think about twelve
important things to remember:
1. The past cannot be changed.
2. Opinions don’t define your reality
3. Everyone’s journey is different.
4. Things always get better with time.
5. Judgments are a confession of character.
6. Over thinking will lead to sadness.
7. Happiness is found within.
8. Positive thoughts create positive things.
9. Smiles are contagious.
10. Kindness is free.
11. You only fail if you quit.
12. What goes around comes around.
I then remembered the following inspiring words that put
everything into perspective:
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in
the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by
choosing to do so.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the
most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without
first making the most of today.
Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person
worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person
looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and
someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. I value
this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly
share this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the
lives of others.
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a
time. Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive
self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will
welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not
expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection
does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the
attempt to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try
something different; I will savor all the various flavors life has
to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will
strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
As you reflect upon the important things that you believe in, I
hope you know how much you are loved by all of us here at
Saint Sophia. We appreciate and thank you for your
presence at Church, for your stewardship and membership
which supports the day-to-day operations of the Cathedral
and Huffington Center, and for the opportunities that are
offered through our Church Ministries. We have so much to
be thankful for and we thank God for giving us these gifts to
share with each other. I hope you, too, will share your
vacation reflections with all of us!
Also, for those of you who have suggestions or comments
which are specific for us to improve our upcoming Greek Fest,
please send them to Parish Council member, Peter Cosfol at
the following e-mail: [email protected]. We value
your opinions and input .
Yours in Christ,
Brent A. Noyes, Parish Council President
