The Codex Sinaiticus Project

The Codex Sinaiticus Project is an international collaboration to reunite the entire manuscript in digital form and make it accessible to a global audience for the first time. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, conservators and curators, the Project gives everyone the opportunity to connect directly with this famous manuscript.

Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book.

New Orthodox Publisher - Anaphora Press

Port Townsend, WA Feb. 5, 2008 – New Orthodox publishing company, Anaphora Press, opens its doors and releases its first two products: liturgical chant CD “Cherubika” and poetry collection Mysteries of Silence. The website goes live, offering a hub of information for Orthodox singers, artists and writers across several genres of creative and liturgical arts. While theological, hagiographical and biographical works are currently well-represented in English by several established Orthodox publishers, Anaphora Press focuses on the under-represented genres of creative fiction and poetry with a particularly Orthodox ethos. Its first publication, a book of poetry by Reader Christopher Lewis entitled Mysteries of Silence is now available.
Similarly, it seeks to publish curricular materials designed with Orthodox children in mind. Complementing these materials, the website also provides links, reviews, and resource materials for parents, homeschoolers, and educators. Anaphora Press offers uniformly typeset liturgical music in English and Western notation. It specializes in znamenny and podoben or “special melodies” as well as basic needs for Divine Liturgy, Vespers, Matins and major feast days. With the struggling mission parish in mind, it endeavors to provide the most-needed basics as free pdf downloads for choir directors and chanters, in arrangements suitable for small ensembles.

Metropolitan Hilarion's Impressions: 60th Anniversary of Holy Trinity Seminary Commencement Exercises

JORDANVILLE: June 4, 2008 Commencement at Holy Trinity Seminary: JORDANVILLE: June 4, 2008 Commencement at Holy Trinity Seminary: Metropolitan Hilarion's Impressions
My first liturgical celebration at Holy Trinity Monastery as Metropolitan coincided with the 60th graduation exercises of Holy Trinity Seminary. For many years, first as a student then as an instructor before my consecration as bishop of Manhattan, I was closely associated with the Seminary. Those were the twilight days of the first generation of founders and well known instructors of our theological school. I was privileged to have participated in some way and to have gained knowledge and experience from that generation. However, it was obvious that their powers were waning and with their passing until the present, I had no awareness of the possibility of restoring even in part, the legacy of our theological institution. During my visit to the Seminary this weekend I had ample opportunity to acquaint myself with the latest developments and renewal that have occurred over the years since I left to serve the Church in other capacities. Without exaggeration, what I observed was a complete transformation. The Seminary administration has made notable progress and positive changes in all areas. Despite the more rigid demands for higher academic standards by the New York State Accreditation board, the Seminary was not only able to meet these demands, but was recently granted an unprecedented ten year term of further accreditation. The majority of the graduates since 2000 are now serving the Church in one or another capacity. More efforts need to be made not only by the Seminary but also by our archpastors and pastors to recruit new students. Working ties have been established with other Orthodox seminaries in North America and Russia. Four international theological conferences have been sponsored by the Seminary with an independent Holy Trinity Seminary Press established to publish the results of these conferences... .
