"The Fountain of Living Water" – A Talk with Protopresbyter Valery
Lukianov on Homiletics
With
the blessing of the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, His
Eminence Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, the
Diocesan Media Office has published a lecture by Protopresbyter
Valery Lukianov on homiletics entitled – "The Fountain of Living
Water."
The lecture was recorded on March 6, 2012 in the parish library of
St.
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Lakewood, NJ, as part of the
Pastoral Resources Program (PRP), which has as its goal providing
similar lectures and seminars to the clergy and faithful of the
whole Church Abroad.
In his lecture, Fr. Valery – the senior-most cleric of the Russian
Church Abroad ‒ drawing on authoritative sources and his own 49
years of experience as a pastor, answered a range of questions
relating to the preparation and successful delivery of a sermon.
After the lecture, Fr. Valery answered listeners’ questions,
including ones submitted via Facebook. "The Fountain of Living
Water" is a valuable resource for clergymen hoping to better learn
the art of homiletics.
With God’s help, and thanks to the support of the Fund for
Assistance to ROCOR, the Diocesan Media Office hopes to publish many
similar videos in the coming months.
The lecture and discussion that followed can be viewed in Russian in their
entirety below. An English
version of this video will be published in the coming days. We thank
our English-speaking audience for their patience and understanding.
