Mission of affirmation of love, community and respect for personality: Radio Zlatousti Srpska Orthodox Metropolition Sumadija in Kragujevac – Society

Among the colleagues, the most commonly speaking of anecdota, when the « Kragujevac newspaper » was in front of extinguishing, and the famous Kragujevac portals were also in problems « jumped in » and informed citizens about all the important topics that all Kragujevacians concerned.

– It was possible, says Gordana Jocic, responsible editor of Zlatoust, because this worked from its first signal in the ETR, in Petrovdan 2009. years, was profiled as a community medium. However, it should not be forgotten that the goldsmiths of the Church of the Church, that is, the propagation goal of the Salvation of God brought people, and with its crucifixion, and resurrected, said to him.

Radio Zlatousti was founded in 2007. year with the blessing of the then bishop, and the current Metropolitan of the Sumadija and Archbishop of Kragujevac Jovan.

– That year, the state opened the door to religious communities to establish electronic media in Serbia (until then this area was unregulated) and the Serb Orthodox Church of Oberuka accepted the opportunity. At first, about a dozen radio stations were opened throughout Serbia and a pair of television, only television « Temple » survived. It should be reminded that at the time of REM was the current patriarch of Serbian GG Porphyria, which was one of those who pushed this story, reminds our interlocutor.

Church radio stations are, by law, local radio stations and do not have the opportunity to be regional or national. They are classified into the civil sector, and therefore have restrictions that otherwise have the media of the civil sector. In the world, these are more university media, somewhat media fighting for women and minority groups, and in Serbia, church media lead among them between the civil sector.

– Kragujevac church worked is a medium that approached the world and man from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church according to his proclaimed mission. The radio tries to testify to the truth of the Church, to indicate the importance of the Serbian Orthodox Church, but also restores memory of « all our wonderful teachings: church, folk, artistic, tabular … » Jocic.

Tolerance to another and different

Their mission is to affirm the love, community and respect for personality. In the radio, golds emphasize and their goal is to improve and strengthen the public, to provide information except God, Church, Orthodox and religion and culture, education, protection of minority groups, and primarily persons with disabilities and disabilities. Therefore, they are frequent emissions, which in addition to Orthodox, « SCHOOL FOR PRAYER », « Veronauka online », « Bioethics » … highlight numerous shows dealing with these topics, which they recognized the city and the state co-financing them with their own means.

Examples of such emissions are « thirsty » diseases, which is realized together with the Center for Independent Life and Development of Persons with Disabilities, « Family Home », « Zasenovica », « signposts of Jasenovac », « on factories and workers » …

This year as the current competitions of the Ministry of Justice – the Management Board of Cooperation with Churches and Religious Communities and Minonsmiths of Information of Radio Zlatousti received funds for the implementation of three projects. With the help of the state, it will realize the emission of the « Guide », which marks 850 years since the first Serbian archbishop of Saint Sava, but also a new show about people with disabilities under the name « Junctionary ». The funds were also obtained for the realization of a professional gathering called « Religious Media and Media Risks derived from the legal rights of citizens and citizens ».

This last is another interesting of the radio Serbian Orthodox Metropolies of Sumadija in Kragujevac, to regularly organize education for journalists and newspapers of religious media and not only Orthodox and Roman Catholic, Jewish and Islamic communities. So far, several such gatherings have been held in which religious media has been engaged in the public information and transmission of information that are of public interest, various forms of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination that see as challenges of religious, ie church information and similar topics.

Also, several professional gatherings intended to empower journalistic skills in journalists of religious media, as well as gatherings where editors of church radio and television broadcasters gather in order to match their work together. They also organized media training for people with disabilities.

– We look at us differently as « other I » and so was one of our emissions dedicated to the Ministry of Information, says Gordana Jocic, adding not to advocate for any ecumenism or syncretism of different faiths, but for tolerance to another and different.

« Seeds throwing » falls somewhere and fertile soe

However, it is most accurate to the players of Zlatousti at this time of unrest bring peace and mutual support, especially when listeners give them the same recognition that the program of this radio makes them calm. And thanks to online release, he listens in 92 countries around the world, so he hopes that « seeds throwing away » falls somewhere and fertile tle, just like in one of the evangelical stories.

– establishing radio golds our Metropolitan John He said that we need to be a church bell, which invites people to come to God’s temple, as the apostle Filip told his friend and the future Apostle Vartolomej – « Come and see ». Of course, the missionary activity of the Church is primarily on the clergy, but should not forget the fact that we are the Laici in the church according to the commission of the « Imperial Clergy », which also invoked to contribute to the spread of Orthodox faith. Of course, it is very important that what we transfer others to consent with the new vow, with Orthodox tradition and in the ultimate case with what our episcopes are preached to us with Amways and other clergy. Today, the wrong interpretations prevailed, where everyone interpreters Orthodox learning as he understands and it will, and that is not an Orthodox approach, so many misunderstandings, and a riot in the church reminds the editor of Jocic.

In the conversation for today, she especially looked at the music broadcast by radio golds.

– Because, it seems to me that we are not even aware of how rich our musical heritage, not only spiritual, but also the legacy of artistic and ethno music. Even when we broadcast entertainment, ethno or strogradmski music, we try to stick to the right musical values, v by what is listened to on many radio stations today. I believe that we are also recognizable by our listeners and the hearers, who really prolifies us, concludes the responsible editor of Kragujevac’s church radio.
