Fr. Seraphim Rose
No. 3 of Orthodox Theological Texts
“Fr. Seraphim titled this essay, ‘The Place of Blessed Augustine in the Orthodox Church.’ He called it this because there are those today who wish to exclude Augustine altogether from the company of the Church Fathers—a novel development, to say the least! Some writers boldly—and without justification (other than their own opinion)—call him a ‘heretic’ and unfairly ascribe to him almost every subsequent error of Latin and Protestant Christendom. Fr. Seraphim, on the other hand, wanted nothing more than to give a sense of Orthodox perspective to this issue, explaining to those who seemed not to know that Blessed Augustine does indeed have a proper ‘place’ in the Church—not, to be sure, among the great Fathers, but nonetheless a position of well-deserved recognition by other Holy Fathers.”
