Church History
In the Church, the past is
contemporary; and that which is present remains so on account of the living
past, since the God-man Christ Who is 'the same yesterday, today and forever'
(Heb. 13:8), continuously lives in His divine-human body by means of the same
truth, the same holiness, the same goodness, the same life and establishes the
past in the present. Thus, to a living Orthodox understanding and conscience,
all the members of the Church, from the Holy Apostles to those who have
recently fallen asleep, are contemporary since they continuously live in
Christ. Further, today in every true Orthodox individual one can find all the
Holy Apostles, Martyrs, and holy Fathers. For the Orthodox Christian these are
more real than many of his contemporaries. - St. Justin Popovich
