Quotes by Anthony Bloom

Anthony Bloom (1914–2003) — Orthodoxer Metropolit, Autor · Orthodox (Moskauer Patriarchat) · Vereinigtes Königreich

Antonij von Sourozh (1914–2003) war ein russisch-orthodoxer Metropolit, Arzt und Autor, der ab 1949 die Diözese Sourozh in Großbritannien und Irland leitete. Er wurde als Brückenbauer zum westlichen Christentum und spiritueller Lehrer bekannt, dessen pastorale Offenheit jedoch bei traditionalistischen Vertretern seiner Kirche auf Kritik stieß. Für Bibelleser vermitteln seine Schriften einen lebensnahen Zugang zum Glauben mit dem Schwerpunkt auf aufrichtigem Gebet und dem Aushalten göttlichen Schweigens.
