In the essays offered in The Evangelical Theology of the Orthodox Church (St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 2021), Bradley Nassif argues that an evangelical (gospel) vision is embedded in the entire structure of the Church, and must be kept clear and central in each local parish. He also explores the elements of faith that Orthodox and Evangelicals share, without glossing over their differences, thus offering a means of mutual understanding and enrichment. He concludes with the history of an emerging global dialogue between the two traditions. Adrian Guiu holds a PhD in History of Christianity from the University of Chicago and teaches at Wright College in Chicago. Learn more about your ad choices.

As servants in the household of God, we are called to "always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence."

In our jobs, families, neighborhoods, and church communities, we expect people to exercise an appropriate level of authority to carry out their particular responsibilities. As Christians, the authority that we exercise over people or things in our care require us to serve as one under the authority of God's instruction.Fr. Sergius looks to Christ, the Theotokos, and the faithful Centurion as shining examples of those who humbly submit to the Lord's instruction and exercise the power of that instruction to carry out their responsibilities for those in their care.Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at St. Vladimir's Seminary and contributor to Doulos – The Intensive Program in Servant Leadership, shares the final episode of a four-part series to explore serving with Christlike authority and humility.

We may aspire to be humble, but unless we are submitting to the Lord's instruction that would have us imitate Christ who "emptied himself, taking the form of a servant . . . and humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross" (Phil 2:8-9) we risk an idolatrous image of humility fashioned by our own hands.Fr. Sergius encourages Christians to imitate Christ's humility by  Submitting to the authority of God's instruction. Allowing God's word to correct us. Giving thanks to God when corrected. Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at St. Vladimir's Seminary and contributor to Doulos – The Intensive Program in Servant Leadership, shares Part Three of a four-part series to explore serving with Christlike authority and humility.

Are you suspicious of those who cloak their excuses in false humility?  I'm so busy and I just don't have time to help. Thanks for asking, but who am I to take on such a responsibility? I'll just keep quiet and avoid any conflict. I'm so broken, how could God use me? False humility seeks excuse from duty and personal accountability, appearing humble for personal gain. Rather than pointing out the false humility in others, how do we recognize excuses and false piety in our own behavior and repent from it? Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at St. Vladimir's Seminary and contributor to Doulos – The Intensive Program in Servant Leadership, shares Part Two of a four-part series that explores serving with Christlike authority and humility.

Do you feel threatened by ego-driven leaders who insist on calling the shots? ·    I'm in charge. It's my decision. I don't have to listen to you.·    It has to get done, so I'll do it my way.·    I've been here longer than you, so I know better.·    My family built the church, so I'm entitled. False authority usurps the power of the scriptural commandment to assume the place of God. Rather than pointing out the false authority in others and resisting their commands, how do we recognize the insidious self-righteousness in our own behavior and repent from it? Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at St. Vladimir's Seminary and contributor to Doulos – The Intensive Program in Servant Leadership, begins a four-part series to explore serving with Christlike authority and humility.

"I have done a lot of work in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion, bias and other things that to me line up directly with the Gospel. But I am still learning,” shares Fr. Justin Mathews. “I am still trying to listen and to hear the lived experience of my neighbors who have suffered greatly and continue to suffer." On today's episode of The Social Leader podcast, the tables are turned and Fr. Justin Mathews is in the hot seat being interviewed by his alma mater St. Vladimir's Seminary, where he earned his Masters in Divinity. In this interview, he unpacks the theory of change behind the work we do here at Reconciliation Services and synthesizes decades of learning, laboring, and co-suffering into an action-oriented conversation that will inspire you to find more opportunities for compassion and growth in your life.
