This is a remarkable collection of Fr Alexander Schmemann's sermons delivered over the course of many years over Radio Liberty to listeners in the Soviet Union. Selected from over 3000 sermons, his broadcasts were widely acclaimed. The first of these sermons, under the title The Celebration of Faith, uses themes of faith, revelation, and the Nicene Creed as the symbol of faith. Though generally directed towards those in the church, these talks are unique in that they speak also to the personnot in the church, to the person who has had no experience whatsoever of things 'religious,' or whose experience of 'religion' has convinced him of its emptiness. Fr Alexander's only assumption is that he is speaking to 'seekers,' to those who have a spiritual thirst, a yearning for something indefinable that calls them out of themselves. And in speaking to the non-religious 'seeker,' he reaches also the religious 'seeker' as well, the one the one who is seeking to grow in his faith, life and understanding of God's revelation in Christ and the Church.
