It has been said that "doctors make the worst patients." Similarly, educators can make the worst students. What happens when scholars and teachers who are members of the Orthodox Church presume to teach theology without being good students of theology? How can educators embody the solution instead of perpetuating the problem? This episode is a sequel to "The Way of Orthodox Theological Education" (S2 E3).
Li Bai, the great Chinese poet, reflected on mortal existence and the inevitability of death. Within the Orthodox Church, the most ancient Church in the world, we balance the sadness of the reality of death with the joyful hope in the power of Life.
What is authentic Eastern Orthodox Christian theological education? It's not just academic religious education or doctrinal philosophical instruction. It's not primarily concerned with the rational mind or external behavior. Orthodox theological education is primarily concerned with the heart, the spiritual intellect, and the purification of the heart through prayer and repentance. It's practical spiritual training for living the ancient Way of Christ, unchanged for thousands of years, in our 21st century world. It's learning by experience a Path that leads to profound change, healing, illumination, and transfiguration by divine power. This is the Way of Orthodox Theological Education for both children and adults.
