Quotes

"Fortunately, Christianity is neither Platonism nor Stoicism. Everything in our body and soul is created by God, and as such absolutely sacred. It is up to my own freedom to get angry, fall in love, play, create, eat, rejoice, be sorrowful, in such a manner that will bring me continuously closer to the divine source of my being: this is what Incarnation means. God does not call me to escape from this world, but to transform it into a place of His manifestation"[5]

"Anselm says: Why did the Incarnation happen? So that the Son of God could be punished in the place of man. Gregory the Theologian says: Incarnation happened, "because humanity must be sanctified by the Humanity of God". Quite the contrary in other words. And the Theologian continues: the only thing God wants, is to stop wear. Now try and build legalism on a position such as that of the Greek Fathers! It is impossible. That's why many of my fellow students in France marveled at us Greeks, saying: «vous êtes anarchistes» (you are anarchists)!"[6]
