  A nuclear priesthood has arisen in Russia. From portable churches to the consecration of weapons systems, the Russian Orthodox Church has been integrated into every facet of the armed forces to become a vital part of Russian national security, politics, and identity. This extraordinary intertwining of church and military is nowhere more visible than in the nuclear weapons community, where the priesthood has penetrated all levels of command and the Church has positioned itself as a guardian of the state's nuclear potential. Russian Nuclear Orthodoxy considers how, since the Soviet collapse in 1991, the Church has worked its way into the nuclear forces, the most significant wing of one of the world's most powerful military organizations. 
   
   
   
  Dmitry Adamsky describes how the Orthodox faith has merged with Russian national identity as the Church continues to expand its influence on foreign and domestic politics. The Church both legitimizes and influences Moscow's assertive national security strategy in the twenty-first century. This book sheds light on the role of faith in modern militaries and highlights the implications of this phenomenon for international security. Ultimately, Russian Nuclear Orthodoxy interrogates the implications of the confluence of religion and security for other members of the nuclear club, beyond Russia.

  Medieval Monasticism - Centers...

  Monasticism, as a religious way of life, emerged from the desire for spiritual purity and devotion. Its origins can be traced to the early centuries of Christianity, when individuals sought solitude and asceticism to deepen their faith. These early monks and hermits withdrew from the distractions of society, dedicating themselves to prayer, fasting, and contemplation. Their practices laid the foundation for organized monastic communities that would later shape religious life in medieval Europe. 
  Christian asceticism had its roots in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, who emphasized humility, self-denial, and devotion to God. In the first few centuries after Christ, some Christians chose to live apart from society, embracing a life of solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine. Among the most influential of these early ascetics were the Desert Fathers, such as Anthony the Great, who became a model for monastic life. These individuals practiced extreme self-discipline, often enduring harsh conditions to strengthen their spiritual resolve. Their writings and teachings inspired many others to follow their example, leading to the formation of small groups of hermits living near one another. 
  Over time, these solitary ascetics began to form more structured communities. One of the key figures in this transition was Pachomius, an Egyptian monk who, in the fourth century, established one of the earliest known monastic rules. His guidelines emphasized communal living, regular prayer, and shared labor. Unlike the isolated lifestyle of the early hermits, Pachomian monasteries promoted a balance between solitude and community, setting a precedent for later monastic traditions. This model of coenobitic monasticism—where monks lived together under a common rule—spread throughout the Christian world, influencing later monastic developments.

  The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. 
   
   
   
  Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.
