Talks on death by Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

[Fr Raphael Vereshack]

Cleaning my bookshelves recently I discovered an old typewritten copy of four talks on death given by the late Metropolitan Anthony Bloom. I have been reading them over and they are very good. The dates indicated when the talks were given is from 12.4.1984-31.5.1984.

The copy I have though is difficult to read and even missing a couple of lines at the bottom of some pages.

Would anyone know the context of these talks such as where they were given? Also where a fresh copy could be obtained either online, printed as a part of a book or perhaps someone has these stored away on their PC & could email me?

I've found reference to the talks on what appears to be the 'official' Metropolitan Anthony site but there's no indication on how to find a copy of them.

Thanks.

In Christ- Fr Raphael

PS: Oh I have just finished reading the fourth talk and from what the Metropolitan says at the end of this talk either there could be more talks beyond the four I have or he had the intention of giving more talks but never gave them. He says, "I will end this talk at this point and I apologize for the necessity for me later to come back to one or two points which I have been incapable of putting concisely today."

Dear Fr. Raphael,

I have also read the talks you write about. They were printed within the last two years in the seasonal newsletter "The Dawn", which is published by the OCA Diocese of the South. "The Dawn" also made reference that the talks had been published many years ago in the Sobornost, an Orthodox journal published in Oxford. I'm sorry that I can't give more specific details at this time. If I find my old copies of "The Dawn", I will be sure to let you know.

These talks have also been published in a small book(let) of Metr. Anthony's views on death. The publisher is the (currently-stalled) St Stephen's Press.

Do let me know if anyone would like copies; I can arrange for them to be shipped.
