Newsletter July, August 2012

Chairman’s message It has been a hectic time since the last issue of the newsletter and a lot has happened since then. Greece has had two general elections with no clear winning party, the Eurozone is still (just) intact, and the Euro woes keep spreading and threaten to have far reaching adverse effects on other currencies world-wide. Cyprus also continues to totter on the brink of financial and economic disaster with no end in sight of the 38 year old Turkish occupation and constitutional stalemate, despite having just assumed the current presidency of the European Union. It is a bizarre situation that the state that is now president of the Council of Europe is currently occupied by a military power that itself aspires to be part of that union! In South Africa the main political players are starting to assume their positions in preparation for the ANC leadership show-down at the end of the year. Our own community held its biennial elections at the AGM held on 20 May 2012 when a new committee was elected into office. During the current difficult times my new committee will concentrate on the unity within the committee and the unity of our parishers for the good of the community as a whole. We will aim to build on the excellent work and achievements of the many previous committees since the founding of our West Rand Hellenic Community way back in 1969. I appeal to all our parishioners to continue playing a part and participating in our community’s affairs and always strive for its unity and success. In this respect we again re-iterate the long-held aim of my committee to invest in property development from which it will eventually become totally independent and able to meet its expenses and obligations without always resorting to the normal methods of fundraising. I am pleased to announce that the new committee has approved the suggestion that a monthly get-together light lunch be held on a Sunday after the church service. The lunch will be a sponsored complimentary meal and it is hoped that as many people will make an effort to attend as often as possible.

necessary education expenses. A special thank you goes to all our generous sponsors , helpers and the people that braved the cold weather in order to attend another successful Greek Evening function on 9 June. The function was well organized at very short notice and despite everything the turn-out was good and a most enjoyable time was had by all. Finally on behalf of my committee I wish to thank Andrea Pavlou and his out-going committee for their excellent work and successful achievements under some very difficult circumstances over the last two years. It is pleasing to have most of those members being re-elected for another term in office.

Anuual GeneraL Meeting

At the AGM of the WRHC held on 20 May the financial position of the community was pronounced to be in a healthy state with a year on year improvement on its results. The meeting was well attended by many parishers who enjoyed a complimentary lunch after the proceedings. An addendum to the WRHC

constitution was proposed and

adopted which has led to the

formation of a community Board of

Governors to serve in a short term caretaker capacity in the

event that the incumbent elected

committee is not able to properly

fulfill its functions and

obligations.

The new body will consist of five

previous chairpersons who have

served at least one full term of

two years duration and are of good

standing in the community and still

active in its affairs. They are

empowered to sanction unethical

actions or wrongdoings of any

committee or individual committee

member(s) which may have negative

impact on the WRHC and its

interests.

The objective of this body is to

uphold the integrity and standing

of the WRHC so as to protect its

interests for future generations,

which interests were painstakingly

developed over the years. The

appointees will in essence, due to

their experience, thus function as

custodians for the community so as

to guarantee continuity and

sustainability. For whatever

reason, in the absence of an

effective committee, the Board of

Governors will serve in a caretaker

capacity until such time as a new

committee is constituted.

The elected life members who

assumed office on this board are:

Andreas Hajipavlou, Ioannis

Leontiou, Andreas Argyrou, Andreas

Liontarides, Antonis Antoniades.

New Committee At the AGM nominations and elections were held for members of a new committee which at a subsequent committee meeting on 24 May were appointed as follows: Antonis Antoniades - Chairman Anthea Sotiropoulos - Vice Chairlady Peter Mammous - Hon. Secretary Ioannis Georgiou - Hon. Treasurer Andreas Pavlou - Member Ioannis Kafouris - Member Sotiris Sotiropoulos - Member Nicos Arvanitis - Member Peter Bellas - Member Demos Stephanou - Member Frank Teichert - Member Evie Peristeris - Member Costas Ioannou - Member Dimitris Psaros - Member

The addendum provides that in the event

that one of the members of the Board of

Governors is an encumbent member of the

WRHC committee, he will forfeit his

place on the board for the duration of

his term of office on that committee.

Baptism in our Greek Orthodox Church fr Evangelos

Baptism is a covenant, an agreement between God and man. God promises to be our Father and we

promise to be His children. Baptizing infants, before they are aware of what will take place, is an

expression of God's great love for us. It shows us that God loves us and accepts us before we can even

know Him or love Him. It shows us that we are wanted and loved by God from the moment of our birth.

The Sacrament of the Greek Orthodox baptism is rich with symbolism, every step of the process reflects

the journey from evil into the light of love for our Lord and saviour Jesus.

EXORCISM - The first step begins with the entrance to the church. This is to show that the one being

received is not yet a member of the Church. The priest calls upon the sponsor to renounce Satan and all

his works from the child. The renouncing of Satan is done facing the west, it is where the sun sets, the

place where the ancient Greeks believed to be the location of Hades, the gates of Hell. Then the priest

faces east, where the sun rises. He asks the godparents to accept for the child "Christ, who is the light of

the world". Renouncing Satan and accepting Christ expresses our faith from the master of darkness to the

master of light. The priest makes the sign of the cross over the child, this is repeated often during the

service. The cross is the sign of victory, this puts the devil into flight. In the ancient times, slaves were

branded to show which master they belonged to. The sign of the cross brands us as member of Christ's

flock.

THE CREED - The godparents are asked to confess faith in Christ on behalf of the infant. They recite

the Nicene Creed. The Creed was the password that distinguished the ancient Christians as members of

the Christian faith.

NAMING THE CHILD - From the moment the child is received into the Church, emphasis is placed on

individuality, with his name he is distinguished from every other child. This is an expression of dignity

in the eyes of God. It is the Church's expression of acceptance of him as an individual in his own right, a

new beginning of life through baptism.

THE BAPTISMAL FONT - The baptismal font is the language of the Church Fathers in the Divine

Womb whence we receive the second birth as children of God. "But to all who receive Him, who believe

in His name, He gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of

the flesh nor the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12:12)

THE TRIPLE IMMERSION - We believe that Christ died for our sins. The full immersion in water

symbolizes death. Through baptism we share mysteriously in Christ's death. The baptized infant rises out

of the water as a new person, cleansed of every sin and promising the surrender of his life to Christ, his

Savior. The triple immersion symbolizes the three days our Lord spent in His tomb as well as the Holy

Trinity - "The servant of God - is baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."

THE WATER - The water is used for cleansing. Through this sacrament Christ cleanses us from

original and personal sin. Our bodily eyes see the priest cleansing the infant, however our spiritual eyes

see the High Priest (Jesus) touching the child baptizing him in the name of God.

THE NAKED INFANT - The child is baptized naked, as it comes from the womb of his mother, so he

emerges from the womb of God - the baptismal font. The removal of the child's clothing signifies the old

slough of sin which will be cast off entirely through baptism. Nakedness without shame reflects the

original state of man in Paradise, which God created and had called good.

THE ANOINTING WITH OIL - Olive oil is blessed by the priest and applied to the child's hands, feet

ears and mouth, in order to dedicate them to the service of Christ. The god parents then anoint the entire

body of the child with the oil. This originated with ancient Greek wrestlers who anointed their body with

olive oil in order to make it difficult for the opponents to maintain a grip on them. In baptism the child

anointed with olive oil expresses a prayer that with Christ's help he may be able to elude the grip of sin.

THE NEW CLOTHES - The new clothes signify the entirely new life that we receive after we are

"buried with Jesus in His death." The white robe symbolizes the purity of the sole cleansed from sin, and

the robe in which Christ appeared in at the Transfiguration. St. Gregory of Nyssa states that the white

robe which one wore after baptism symbolizes the garment of light which was man's before the Fall.

THE CANDLES - In the early church the baptismal candle was always kept by the one that was

baptized. The baptismal candle was brought to church on feast days, on the anniversary of one's baptism

and at midnight Easter liturgy. If the person was to be wed, they would light the same candle at the

wedding ceremony. If one was to be ordained they would light it at the ordination. When the final hour

of life approached it was lit yet again as the soul went forth to meet its Judgment. It was a constant

reminder for the Christian to live and die by the light of Christ.

THE SACRAMENT OF CHRISMATION or CONFIRMATION - In the Orthodox Church the

Sacrament of Confirmation is administered immediately following the baptism. It is considered the

fulfillment of baptism. Human nature purified by baptism is made ready to receive the manifold gifts of

the Holy Spirit. The Greek word for Confirmation is "chrisma", which means anointing. Thus by this

Sacrament we are made Christians "Chrismation" is the ordination of laity. According to belief, everyone

baptized is a lay person ordained by a priest by this sacrament. He receives the gift of the Holy Spirit and

becomes an ambassador for Christ in this world.

THE EUCHARIST - Immediately following the baptism the "newly enlightened" receives the precious

Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and in the case of an infant, is brought

to church regularly to receive the sacrament. The new life in Christ is renewed again and again with the

Eucharist As nature provides nourishment of the child after birth so God provides Holy Communion for

the child's spiritual life after baptism.

THE CUTTING OF HAIR - After confirming the child, the priest cuts three locks of hair from his

head. This is an expression of gratitude for receiving God's blessings in baptism and confirmation.

Having nothing to give in return, the gift of his hair )a symbol of strength like Samson) is a promise to

serve God with all his strength.

THE RELIGIOUS DANCE - A procession around the baptism font by the priest and godparent holding

the child is believed to be a reflection of the celebration of angels dancing and expressing their joy that a

new soul has been registered in the Book of Souls.

THE GOSPEL READING - "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore

and make disciples off all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy

Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded You; and lo, I am with you always, to the

close of the ages." (Matthew 28; 16-20).

Fr Evangelos explained and taught as to the origin and role of

Sacred Tradition as the source of all doctrine and practice in the

Church. It is not a stagnant collection of historical customs, but an

organic community guided by the Holy Spirit in the world. It is

“the very life of the Holy Trinity as it has been revealed by Christ

Himself and testified by the Holy Spirit

Fr Evangelos presented a two hour lecture on Iconography as the

Bible in Art and theology in colour. The bible and iconography

along with prayer of the heart are the gates into the mystery of

Orthodox Christian spirituality. Icons serve as "windows into

heaven" depicting our Christian history reflecting images of Christ,

the Virgin Mary, the Apostles and other holy and heroic Christians

of the past.Icons inform us of the major phases of salvation history

and tell our parish that we are in communion with the angels and

saints.

Mary Magdalene was a devoted follower of Jesus, hyped and

distorted over the centuries-mainly by Gnostics. To achieve such

detachment she abandoned all links with the active life and

became a pure contemplative. Her contemplation, therefore, was

born from penance and detachment. It made her understand the

excellence of heavenly things and how every created thing was

made to serve and glorify heavenly things. So, nothing could be

more consistent for her than to take a very valuable perfume and

pour it on the divine feet of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Authority, Salvation, Speaking in Tongues, Miracles and Healing

and Prosperity in the Charismatic and Pentecostal churches were

aspects that were highlighted and contrasted with Orthodox

dogma.

The topic of the next lecture on the last

Thursday in July (26th July) is :

ISLAM AND JESUS

Al Jarreau Favourite book/author: The Holy Bible/GOD Favourite sport: Soccer/Boxing/Rugby/Sailing/Equestrian sports Philosophy of life: The Christian philosophy represents an entire worldview which I espouse, a view that is consistent with the Bible throughout. In the end, we must all choose between a materialist/naturalist worldview and a supernaturalist worldview—and our choice will create repercussions throughout every aspect of our lives. The Christian philosophy embraces the meaningful, purposeful life, a life in which we shape our beliefs according to a coherent, reasonable, truthful worldview. As a Christian with such a worldview, we are not tossed to and fro by every secularist doctrine. We must be acquainted with the contending world-views of our age. Philosophy after all is a way of life, and we as Christian believe that Jesus has the true way—the true pattern for living. It is our task to understand the ideologies of our day so that he may be able to meet their challenges , while preparing ourselves for the hereafter. Biggest influence in life: My parents and the Holy Scriptures Disappointment in life: Suffering children in especially Africa and parts of Asia. The huge wealth gap in society that leads to crime and other social problems. Corrupt leaders who abuse the trust placed in them by their constituents and who promise the earth and deliver nothing. People failing to see the huge importance of church attendance and the necessity of leading a spiritual life with Our Lord Jesus at the helm. Source of happiness: Knowing that Jesus Christ died for me, a sinner! Being with my family. Dream and achievement: To serve God as best I can and to finally make it to the New Jerusalem. To do the best that I can in all that I undertake. Message to the community: Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else shall be added to you. Attend church regularly, take Holy Communion, serve our community as best you can so that something of value can be left for future generations.
