Orthodoxy's Approach to Millenarianism
Orthodoxy has a different perspective on millenarianism compared to Protestantism. While it acknowledges the imminent return of Christ, it does not prioritize this belief as the center of the spiritual life. Orthodoxy's emphasis lies on the spiritual life, mysticism, and patience, rather than a radical transformation of the world. Orthodoxy has a rich history grounded in the Greco-Roman world and has cultivated a spiritual life focused on moral obligations, charity, and ascetical virtues. However, at its worst, Orthodoxy can become an institution that accommodates itself to historical forces that contradict its teachings and principles.
