In 1948, he was appointed chaplain to the Fellowship of Sts Alban and Sts Sergius, dedicated to the work of Christian unity.

Crestwood (NY) : St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1980. Translated by Deborah Cowen from the French. Octavo (8vo), 8.5"/22cm h. Bound in publisher's glossy color pictorial wrappers, reproduction of Rublev's Old Testament Trinity to front. [iv], v-viii, 254, [255-6] blank. Author's preface, text, notes passim. Condition notes: a good-plus reading copy, formerly owned by an orthodox priest, whose red stamp graces a few pages; numerous pages have underlining or light yellow highlighting. Binding is sound, with a crease just beginning to spine: treat this one with some care and it will serve you well. An erudite resource for Orthodox Christians and Byzantine Rite Catholics for the cycle of church worship. The 'Monk' later became known as Lev Gillet, who has provided a thorough and thoughtful guidebook to the many ins and outs of the Eastern calendar. A great addition to the bookshelf of the faithful and the inquiring. We personally inspect every book we offer. Seller Inventory # 251217007

Paper Back. Condition: New. The liturgical year of the Orthodox Church is more than a calendar. It is more than pious teaching or beautiful poetry. Woven through its cycles of fasts and feasts is Christ Himself, manifested in the lives of His saints and the events of His life. Participation in this life ''forms Christ in us, from his birth to the full stature of the perfect man.'' Clearly organized by section according to the major seasons of the Church )Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, Lent, the Passion, Easter and Pentecost) and including historical and theological reference notes at the end of each chapter, The Year of Grace of the Lord both instructs those unfamiliar with the liturgy of the Orthodox Church and gives a devotional light to those entering into its work on a daily basis. 254 pp. Seller Inventory # 47816
