This book contains the thoughts of the hierarch of the Antiochian Orthodox Church about the life position of a Christian in the modern world. Bishop Georgy Khodr touches on such sensitive topics as the Christian’s attitude to social activities and politics, technological civilization, social and national liberation struggles. Considerable attention is paid to the problems of the so-called “third world”. The author expresses ambiguity on the issue of the possibility for a Christian to use weapons for the triumph of a cause that he considers right. The main idea of the book is that belonging to the Church should cease to be an external and formal circumstance in a person’s life and become a determining factor in all his affairs.
