According to the chairman of the Academy of Sciences to discuss the study of religion is shameful

In a message to the media, the Academy informed that the management had taken an initiative at BAS to decide academic sermons, the first invitation being to the Bulgarian Patriarch Daniel, who was among the guests of the meeting, as well as the Minister of Education Krasimir Valchev.

The Chairman of BAS Art. Evelina Slavcheva congratulated the scientists and guests on the Day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius. « With pride today, we can declare that the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences continues the work as much as its founders, as well as the literature as to St. Cyril and Methodius themselves and their followers in their mission to educate, educate and educate the nation. Bulgarian history and culture, asserting the national priorities of our identity in their work over the years, the Bulgarian scientists have spread the knowledge of the heritage of our writers, but also make significant efforts for its promotion in Europe and the world, « said Slavcheva in the announcement of BAS.

« The upcoming holiday is also an occasion to think about whether we are doing enough to be at the level of our ancestors. Do we have reasons for pride? Are we Europeanized enough, keeping the purity and sound in our own language? It can still be desired, much more is necessary to do and still have to fight, » said Art. Slavcheva. In this context, she speaks of the « somewhat shameful », according to her discussion about the introduction of an object such as « virtues and religions » in a country « which Christianized and occultrated all of Southeastern Europe during the Middle Ages, and its language reached the Lingu Franca for that part of the Old Continent. »

Slavcheva expresses « why Orthodoxy, rather than another religion, suddenly became a problem » and recalls that « the alphabets created by St. Cyril and Methodius and their disciples are mostly a means of baptism of huge masses of Slavs and evangelism through the Word of God. It is in this context that the initiative of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in the « Prof. Marin Drinov » Hall is to pronounce academic sermons, and for the first participant, Patriarch Daniel was invited, according to the retelling of the word of Art. Evelina Slavcheva on the Synod’s website.

The Bulgarian Patriarch Daniel has uttered an academic word for the holiday and recalled that the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences has been deeply related to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church since the years of its creation, the BAS said. « These connections of close interaction and reciprocating between faith and knowledge, church and science do not cease to bear their respected fruits, » the Patriarch said.
