Alexander Schmemann Quotes

Christians Were Tempted To Reject Time Altogether And Replace It With Mysticism And "spiritual" Pursuits, To Live As Christians Out Of Time And Thereby Escape Its Frustrations; To Insist That Time Has No Real Meaning From The Point Of View Of The Kingdom Which Is "beyond Time." And They Finally Succeeded. They Left Time Meaningless Indeed, Although Full Of Christian "symbols." And Today They Themselves Do Not Know What To Do With These Symbols. For It Is Impossible To "put Christ Back Into Christmas" If He Has Not Redeemed - That Is, Made Meaningful - Time Itself.
