“I will return to the status of Russian religious philosophers” – Kuraev

Forbidden in the ministry, cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church Andrei Kuraev sees his future in the role of a religious scholar and philosopher. This is stated in his interview to Novaya Gazeta, writes Credo.

“For now, I can only say that in any case, probably, according to an old joke, I will shave off my beard, but what to do with my great brain. You see, well, I will return to the status that I admired and which was for me the primary icon of the church world, this is the status of Russian religious philosophers of the XIX-XX centuries. Because in the history of Russian culture this phenomenon existed, and, say, the Greeks did not have it.

The phenomenon of jackets – people who did not receive a salary in the Church, in the Synod and in the spiritual academy, even, but simply by some call of their heart, conscience, tried to speak something kind or analytical about Orthodoxy. However, since they said not only good and not only compliments, but tried to analyze, they underwent for this, including from the Synod.

The spiritual censorship forbade publishing Khomyakov’s works, and there were a lot of things. Nevertheless, these people later, generations later, became the glory of the same Russian Orthodox Church, which barely tolerated them during his lifetime and which forced Gogol to burn the second volume of Dead Souls. I will follow the example of these people. Just live,” said Kuraev.
