Death to the World A zine to inspire truth seeking and soul searching amidst the modern age of nihilism and despair. What do we mean by: "DEATH TO THE WORLD"?
(256)

"The world is the general name for all passions. When we wish to call the passions by a common name, we call them the world. But when we wish to distinguish them by their special names, we call them passions. The passions are the following: love of riches, desire for possessions, bodily pleasures from which comes sexual passion, love of honor gives rise to envy, lust for power, arrogance and pride

of position, the craving to adorn oneself with luxurious clothing and vain ornaments, the itch for human glory which is a source of rancor and resentment, and physical fear. Where these passions cease to be active, there the world is dead....
Someone has said of the Saints that while alive they were dead; for though living in the flesh, they did not live for the flesh. See for which of these passions you are alive. Then you will know how far you are alive to the world, and how far you are dead to it." --St. Isaac the Syrian, 7th Century

TIME TO ACT // Met. Hierotheos Vlachos

“Young people today, who live in this stifling, predominantly materialistic and carnal society, which promises no redemption at all and does not satisfy their existential problems, feel the need to be set free. Sometimes they attempt this through drugs, sometimes by means of politics, and sometimes with the help of religion. There are many young people in the West today who are searching vigorously and energetically, I could even say innocently, for Christ…”

Dismissal Hymn of the Protomartyr Stephen:

“The crown of the Kingdom hath adorned the brow of thy head because of the contests that thou hast endured for Christ God, thou first of the martyred Saints; for when thou hadst censured the Jews’ madness, thou sawest Christ thy Saviour standing at the right hand of the Father. O Stephen, ever pray Him for us, that He would save our souls.”

RESURRECTION COLLECTION // Pre-Order // Ships End of January // Link in bio

This is a loose bundle of all Death to the World issues from the “resurrection era.” The publishing of the ‘zine was dormant from ‘98 until ‘06 when a group of converts who discovered the Church through DTTW were blessed to unearth the ministry by Bishop Gerasim (then Abbot of St Herman of Alaska Monastery) and Abbot Damascene (current Abbot). Issue 13 was published in 06’, giving rebirth to the ‘zine that continues until today.

Many of these issues have not seen the printing press for many years, some over a decade. This bundle includes issue No. 13 through issue No. 24 which was the last of DTTW’s black and white era before we switched to color covers.

Complete your DTTW library but don’t forget to copy, scan, and pass out to your friends.

“Brethren, let us show repentance and conversion from the depths of our hearts, and let us leave off our former evil ways, and let us cleanse ourselves of every stain of the flesh and the spirit.

For the day of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is near, on which we are to commune the divine and life-giving sanctification of His Mysteries. So let us keep ourselves well, brethren, and every idea that is thorny and not pure and is unworthy of a devoted activity let us w**d out, and in every way let us cleanse ourselves.”

—St. John Chrysostom, Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew
