The Dialogue Between Theology and Science as a Sincere Search for Truth. Between Scientific Experiment and Religious Experience
(Faculty of Philosophy and Religious Studies, 2026-03-26)
The search for truth is a very old preoccupation, since ancient times. Ancient philosophers and sages were engaged in it. The search for truth has not stopped, but continues to this day. We can say that the greatest seekers of truth today are scientists, in all areas of scientific research. On the other hand, there are theologians, who know Who is the Truth (John 14:6), trying to be in communion with the truth through spiritual life. This study attempts to explain the dialogue between Orthodox theology and science, as well as their different methods through which they come to the knowledge of truth. The path to truth can be found, but the methods are different because science and theology use a different approach. And both can have the same goal, which would be to find the truth, but the different experiences that science and Orthodox theology have must be specified. Science uses observation and experimentation of the things it wants to know, explaining them through rational discourse, but on the other hand it has its own limitations. Theology uses the centuries-old spiritual experience gained in the life of the Church, whose goal is the knowledge of God and communion with Him. When a comparison is made, a difference appears in the knowledge of the material and the immaterial. Although the methods seem different, the goal seems to be the same, and that is to find the answers that lead humanity to the knowledge of the truth. Science and theology can find a common understanding for finding and knowing the truth.

The Religious Aspect of the Macedonian Society in the Condition of the Crisis Caused by Covid 19
(George Fox University, 2021)
Gjorgjevski, Gjoko

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has influenced all spheres of social life of the Republic of North Macedonia. Introduction of precautionary and restrictive measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus impacted on the religious life of citizens-believers. The attitudes of the religious communities towards these measures impacted the behavior of the believers, but also on the opinion and attitudes of the general public. In order to give a clear picture of the religious aspect of the Macedonian society, this paper is divided into two parts. The first part presents the action of the larger religious communities during conditions of the crisis caused by Covid 19. The second part presents public attitudes towards religious communities and the practice of religion after the outbreak of the pandemic. A qualitative analysis was applied in both cases, with the first part analyzing a multitude of public sources, the most common of which were online news and the second part is a thematic analysis of Twitter Platform, particularly the tweets in the period after the appearance and spread of the virus. After the summing up of the results, the impatience towards the religious needs of the believers was evident, as well as the strong criticism and condemnation of the religious communities, despite the fact that in their statements the communities mainly adhered to the government's decisions to deal with the crisis, and called on the believers to comply with the measures adopted in these decisions. Such intolerance and criticism towards religious communities is especially emphasized in the conversation on Twitter, where users are also advocating the introduction of punitive measures for believers who would attend religious ceremonies

The aim of this paper is to examine the recent developments related to the Macedonian Orthodox Church–Archbishopric of Ohrid, the acceptance of the canonical status by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and the conferring of status to autocephaly by the Serbian Orthodox Church in 2022. From the ecclesiological and the liturgical aspect, the MOC-OA is no longer in isolation and is part of the family of Orthodox churches through the restoration of Eucharistic communion. The final step, the granting of a Tomos by the Ecumenical Patriarchate is expected, which would make the MOC-OA the first by all recognized and accepted autocephalous church in the 21st century.

The Odyssey of Archbishop Gavril’s Translation of the Bible
(George Fox University, 2017-07-18)
Translating the Bible is not an easy task in any language. Every translation of the Bible is a confirmation of the capacity of a language to convey the Bible’s manifold depths and meanings. The publication of the Macedonian Bible has been received as a historic event in Macedonia. Archbishop Gavril’s translation remains a unique pillar in the development of the Macedonian literary language. The entire process of the planning, translation, and printing of the complete Macedonian Bible encompassed a period of some 50 years. Drawing on these references, the article explores the impressive journey of Archbishop Gavril’s translation of the Bible into Macedonian as documented in his personal letters and correspondences.
