Anthony Bloom

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.

Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself one way or the other at all.
William Temple

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was yourself.
