Fr. Turbo is really an amazing speaker. He really has a lot of wisdom for the modern world.
I feel like Fr. Turbo is always talking about something that no one else wants to talk about, something incredibly important, but so subtle that many just chose to ignore it. It brings up so many questions. I would like to hear more.
Fr Turbo is a desert rose in modern orthodox thought
Art n theology: and mystical. Good to hear this brother.
Love to you Father Turbo.
People are art.
Tnx Frather.
I needed this.
Wow. This is incredible.
Thank you.
I'm of partial Slav ancestry but I have found great imspiration and strength in the Chicano and Viet expressions of art and culture. God Bless them and thanks for your hearfelt sermon.
I am Orthodox but I am not against any religion or belief system. Christ guides us and you express that. Thanks
For real tho
Thank you...however what Fr.Turbo is reflecting upon in both this part of the interview and the part on subculture is so subtle that his very important vision seems perplexingly vague. You ..we need more time for him to address the opening of each topic and guide us into the core of his thinking.Also you asked no questions to help clarify for us listeners his points. We Really need Fathers keen and rare insights into being orthodox in an Americanized culture and how it is for African Americans to enter this new domain ..new to the west..basically...this new domain that had never experienced the African American presence in it before. That is a much needed area of prayer reflection discussion and needs vast amounts the this Lords Love to heal and guide this New presence in orthodoxy. Its is not easy. Great Love ; humility ; insight ; compassion And Communication are essential . Fr.Turbos reflections seem ephemeral only because you in no way gave him the platform needed for such a delicate introduction to a huge unexplored region of life in the orthodox church in 21century North America! Much much more is needed here. We are Americans . The Lord has called orthodoxy to a new land..but can it embrace and love in Christ those of the new land??
Fr. Turbo’s appreciation of Alphonse Mucha says a lot about his sentimental approach to culture and religion. It’s nostalgic and essentially conservative, verging on kitsch. The problem with addiction to kitsch is the concomitant rejection of anything that upsets that emotional comfort afforded by the kitsch. We aren’t called to be comfortable with ourselves in the Orthodox Church, rather to struggle against complacency. Many saints were probably uncomfortable to be around, and that was not necessarily deleterious to their witness of the Kingdom of God, which is not of this world. Decorative beauty in visual art, or liturgy, cannot save us. Over-attachment to the notion that things must be nice can completely blunt the message of the Gospel.
I think Fr. Turbo is in flight from the realization of systemic injustice and inequity in our society and seeks the refuge of the Orthodox Church not as a way of confronting the brokenness of our society driven by greed and the need to deprive others of access to the means of life and dignity but as a way of claiming prematurely that he has solved it within himself. I see the kitschy ‘Slav epic’ art of Mucha and the Fr. Turbo’s constant appeal to Slavism as a false solution to the ugliness of American life riven by class and race disparity, completely lacking in wholeness. The Slav Epic can’t fix the problems of America. We need to bring all that America is within each of us who confess Christ to the Cross and crucify our illusions and conceits. There is no sentimentality in the Kingdom of God.
We in no way heard enough of Fr.Turbos thought to make the judgements you have so rapidly made Sir. It will take oh...a Very Long time to understand him and for Father to hear the Holy Spirit in his heart and church before he and others begin to comprehend his journey and their own. My question is: can the orthodox support and journey with Father, and so many others, as they enter the depth of their own spirit and the Church in the Lord.
Can we withhold deciding what is in the heart of another? This is The Most Mysterious Journey undertaken by any human being! You do not know nor do i but i respect and support in Love the Journey we are all called to make into the Mystery of The Kingdom of God within us. Can ...Is the orthodox church capable of the support ; respect; patience and compassion needed? Think of the Cloud of Unknowing ..thats where Father Turbo ..that where we as humans are called to enter. Alone but not alone.
Respect and Thanks for a thoughtful, learned response. God Bless and looking forward to meeting in the Hereafter.
@@masonhancock5350 might be sooner. Cheers! I hope I didn’t sound too harsh but kitsch has a close relationship to a lot of bad modern history.
Very unclear speech, please help me. Alphonse Mucha puts the woman beauty and leisure lifestyle/soft-erotism on a pedestal. I am artist/painter and I am struggling a lot with the subject of my paintings. Isn't the Orthodox perspective about pure imagination, fantasy, secular ideas of beauty - rather negative?! I was taught in the Art Academy how to draw naked body, the human and all of its psychological conditions are a great subject to a painter. Yet secular paintings/images are easily type of idolatry, as well I struggle to see the message most of the secular art conveys as compatible with Orthodox Christianity at all.
I would love to paint the woman beauty all day long. Its easy (because its already beautiful) and natural for me, and culturally acceptable. But this video don't address the problems and the potholes artist and art can create. The example of Alphonse Mucha rise more questions than answer... There is a lot of beautiful art and stuff that can be degenerative in the big picture?
