“This is why the true theologian is not the one that attends university courses and excels due to remembering some dates and names or writing a thesis. The true theologian is the one that knows which is the power and the truth of the Lord’s teaching; the one that at the difficult moment says: not as I will but as thou wilt. It is then that God enters within this man, makes him a theologian, a god by grace and man can advance in another way in Jesus Christ.”
(Archimandrite Vassilios, 21st CenturyAbbot of the Iviron Monastery)
