Introduction Post~!

Hello, i'm Ankira Vasanti, but most people just call me Kira. I'm a (mostly) dark type pokémon trainer who was born in Hoenn and now resides in Unova.

My pokémon team consists of:

Frossy the Frosmoth

Phobos the Corviknight

Ecumine the Malamar

Aspic the Hydreigon

Solar the Absol

And that's pretty much it. Feel free to ask me questions in the box, and don't hesitate to say hello. I don't bite... at least not literally.

Unsure if I can vote more than once, but I have more St Charles de Fouclaud propaganda!!

He really was such an interesting guy, and to me, he kind of falls into modern mystic territory? Like the prayer of surrender (Father,I abandon myself into your hands; Do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you:I am ready for all, I accept all) Hooo, mama! I miss how often saints used to talk about fully surrendering yourself to God!

I think his philosophy of preaching through example instead of through sermon is especially relevant in our current day, when a lot of Christians worry more about making sure they say they're Christian than about extending God's love to the marginalized. He also treated the cultures around him with so much respect and dignity, and he was quite the ethnographer! He cared so much about loving people, regardless of if they were interested in converting or not, which was a very Christ-like thing to do. He also shows that doing your job well and with dignity is another way to glorify the Lord.

He took a vow of poverty, not just to prove his devotion, but to truly live among the less fortunate. He inspired the Little Brothers and worked for the Poor Clares. His dearest desire was to be a brother to all, even taking the name "Brother Charles of Jesus." He once said that he hoped to die alone, like Christ. His friendship with the Muslim community around him was so deep and genuine that they were the ones who buried his body.

His second miracle was the protection and healing of a carpenter who had fallen and gotten impaled while fixing up a church-- which feels so perfect for a man who dedicated himself to common, working class, easily abandoned individuals.

I've adopted him as an unofficial patron, doesn't matter how new he is!! His writings are endlessly fascinating and inspiring, and he played a role in the reinvigoration of my faith, showing me that you really can reject the world and give your life to Christ, even when that means rejecting things the church/christians are doing. We've got to drum up a patronage for him-- maybe ecuminical friendship or reconversion or poetry translators or people whose organs should have exploded, idk!!!!

He IS the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OF COURSE YOU CAN VOTE MORE THAN ONCE

I mean, the persistent widow is a parable for a reason, right?? This isn't a major election. This is all of us banding together and bothering each other until we pick a saint. Get your votes in!!

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING ABOUT THIS MAN. EVERYONE GO VOTE FOR ST CHARLES NOW AND SPAM MY INBOX IF YOU MUST

I think that people who shit on ecuminism as a concept don't have any real life experience with trying to reconcile a fractured family (which, of course, the Church is). The execution can sometimes leave a lot to be desired, yes. But being right and waiting for everyone to realize how right you are, or brow beating them with it, etc doesn't really work, lol

Luckily, we know that Ukraine would never be dumb enough to hang out with Dinos. She has better taste than that. (I could personally see her with Turkey but ngl, I am just mentioning that here because I want Dino to get cucked by Turkey)

// I personally feel that she would find him rather charming. He has more or less presented himself as a knight in shining armor. The Orthodox Ukraine Church now is independant of Moskow, recognised by the Ecuminical Patriarchate (Constantinople), Alexandria and Greece.

In januari 2019 the tomos of autocephaly was granted by Constantinople and it was a bold move. For a coward like my muse that rather just builts walls around him it is a big political statement. The only weapon he has left is a longggg history. And damn son he will use it. Moskow has excommunicated Constantinople and pfffff... crazy times.

But like I said it is a very delicate subject and because it is al VERY recent I really feel not to go into this too deep. Because I don't want people affected reading this to feel bad. On the other side it is an underlying theme in my blog because Dinos is a diplomat, not a priest. So I can't ignore it. Furthermore I realise not many people know there are major things happening in the Orthodox world right now. So by adressing it people can read into it. Cause it affects a lot of people and it is as real and important as the other big things you read in the media almost exclusively.

According to the ecuminical Churchman’s Ordo Kalendar today is St. Nicodemus’s day. According to the Gospel of John Nicodemus was a Pharisee who went to Jesus to question Him by night (John 3:2-17), advises the chief priests to leave Jesus and His movement alone (John 7:50), and provides “myrrh and aloles” to embalm Jesus’s body (John 19:39). He is probably the same person as Nicodemus ben Gurion of the Talmud. Tradition, in the form of the Roman Martyrology and Foxe’s Book of Martyrs states that he was martyred, but we have no positive proof of that. An apocryphal gospel was attributed to him. The painting illustrating this post is Christus und Nicodemus, by Fritz von Uhde.

What are your views on Ecuminism in our Church?

What a great question, thanks anon! 

Our youth committee stands by the official position of the Greek Orthodox Church, which is pro the Ecumenical Movement. When guided by the Holy Spirit, the Greek Orthodox Church believes we can strive towards a communion of love for God’s glory.

Let’s define Ecumenism for those who don’t know: simply put, “Ecumenism refers to efforts by Christians of different church traditions to develop closer relationships and better understandings.” 

To dig a little deeper, its all about sustaining a dialogue between Christian groups with the goal of restoring unity among all Christians. It’s a pretty idealistic goal, but anything is possible with God on our side. Unity can only take place through understanding, mutual respect and toleration, and through practical cooperation in areas of common concern (such as care for the poor, sick, and needy). 

The Ecumenical Patriarchate, in an encyclical addressed to all Orthodox churches in 1902, invited the Orthodox churches to move towards more dynamic inner communion, conciliarity and cooperation, in order to work with other Christian churches and communions towards the visible unity of all Christians. 

Although the CYC is run under the Australian Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, we often have pan-Orthodox events and dialogues with other Eastern Orthodox youth groups. If we are a united front within Eastern Orthodoxy, we can then have dialogues with other Christian denominations with clarity and unity. 

We are obviously very supportive of the Ecumenical Movement because it is the desire of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17) and the prayer of the Church in her liturgy. For this reason, we’re completely open to uniting with others who share a faith in Christ, even if our traditions may be different. The only way we can unify is if we can come together in understanding of our differences, while celebrating our similarities.

The Orthodox Church and the other Christian churches

We’re living in a time where, as Christians, we need to band together more than ever. Hopefully with the Grace of God and with the Holy Spirit guiding the Church’s efforts, we can move in the direction towards unity :) 

Thanks again for this great question and God bless you.

Yorkie's been gaining all kinds of new ecuminical insights into the spiritual ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
