The readings were timed to coincide with the day of memory of the Elder of the Glinsk Hermitage, teacher, educator, Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov) (01/6/1932 - 07/29/1991).
The purpose of the forum is to introduce moral principles and traditional spiritual values into the modern education system. The declared topics of the forum were spiritual and moral education in the family and educational institutions. In addition, issues of the moral potential of the Russian language, the importance of hagiographic and patristic literature in the spiritual and moral education of younger generations were considered.
Glinsky readings represent a high spiritual platform for professional self-education, growth and spiritual and moral training, first of all, for teachers. The forum brings together teachers, scientists and heads of educational authorities in the field of spiritual, moral and patriotic education.
Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov) was born on January 6, 1932 in the village of Potapovka, Sumy region, into a pious peasant family. At the age of 12, Ivan began working on a collective farm. Herded cows, plowed, sowed, mowed, assembled plows, learned to make carts. I went to school 6 kilometers away in the village of Sopic. Thanks to his natural talent, Ivan studied very well. In 1951, Ivan was drafted into the army.
In 1954 he went to the Glinsk hermitage. At first, Ivan performed general obediences in the monastery for several months, then he was given a cassock, and in 1955 he was enrolled in the monastery by decree. At that time, such great elders as Schema-Archimandrite Andronik (Lukash), Schema-Archimandrite Seraphim (Amelin), Schema-Archimandrite Seraphim (Romantsov) labored in the monastery. The abbot of the monastery soon blessed John to respond to numerous letters that came to the monastery from those who asked for advice, spiritual guidance and help.
So Ivan began his selfless service to God and his neighbors, leading the most modest, strict and humble life. He bore the obedience of a scribe, worked in a carpentry workshop, made candles, then was the head of a pharmacy and at the same time a choir attendant. On October 8, 1957, on the eve of the celebration of the repose of the holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian, the young novice was tonsured a monk with the name John in honor of the holy Apostle.
In 1961, after the closure of the monastery, Father John, with the blessing of Elder Andronik, entered the Moscow Theological Seminary. In 1962, he was ordained at the Patriarchal Epiphany Cathedral to the rank of hierodeacon, and on March 31, 1963, to the rank of hieromonk. After graduating from the seminary, he continued his studies at the Theological Academy. Even during his years at the academy, he, a student, was entrusted with the spiritual care of teachers and students, in addition, he confessed to pilgrims. It was here that the abilities and pastoral gifts of Father John were fully revealed, who from the first days proved himself to be a most experienced confessor.
In 1969, Father John graduated from the Moscow Theological Academy with a candidate of theology degree, awarded to him for the essay “Elder Hieroschemamonk Ambrose (Grenkov) of Optina and his epistolary heritage.” Father John was retained as a professorial fellow at Moscow theological schools, teaching pastoral theology and practical guidance for pastors. In 1974, he began teaching liturgics at the seminary.
Since 1974, more than a hundred works by Father John have been published in various publications. The crowning achievement of his scientific and theological activities at Moscow Theological Schools is his master’s thesis “St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and his teaching on salvation,” which he defended on March 11, 1983, receiving the title of Master of Theology. In 1991, Father John completed a unique work - his doctoral dissertation “Glinsk Hermitage. History of the monastery and its spiritual and educational activities in the 16th-20th centuries.”
In 1991, Father John completed the Glinsky Patericon, which included 140 biographies of the Glinsky ascetics. Thanks to his theological works, Father John is known not only as an elder-confessor, but also as a spiritual educator.
In 1985, the Master of Theology was sent from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra as a confessor to the Zhirovitsky Assumption Monastery. He did not have to work long in the new field of pastoral work. In June 1990, he came on vacation to Sergiev Posad, and in August, before his next departure to Belarus, the illness finally confined him to bed. The suffering either intensified, reaching critical states, or weakened. Schema-Archimandrite John did not stop receiving his spiritual children even if after another conversation he lost consciousness.
On Monday, July 29, 1991, at 9 a.m., Elder John took communion. At 9.30 the elder peacefully departed to the Lord in full consciousness.
On the morning of July 31, a funeral liturgy was celebrated by a council of clergy, led by the abbot of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, Archimandrite Eleutherius (Didenko). At 12 noon, the coffin was taken to the square in front of the Trinity Cathedral, where a litany was served in front of a gathering of pilgrims, and Father John was buried in the Old Cemetery in Sergiev Posad.

Glinsky readings
From July 27 to 29, the Moscow Theological Academy hosts the XXV International Educational Forum in memory of the continuer of the traditions of the Glinsk Hermitage, the spiritual writer - Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov).
Since this year is associated with the 1000th anniversary of the repose of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, the forum was dedicated to this event. It is Prince Vladimir who is the founder of the educational traditions of the Russian people, therefore, at the 25th “Glin Readings” the topic of modern education and upbringing is discussed.
Over the past two days, on July 27 and 28, plenary sessions were held in the Assembly Hall of the MDA. Teachers, higher school teachers, scientists and clergy made reports on the patriotic education of children and youth, domestic traditions of pedagogy and shared their experience of using patristic works in their lessons, including the works of Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov), recommended by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
According to tradition, the Glinsky Readings were headed by the chairman of the forum, Nikolai Vasilyevich Maslov, who is also the founder of the Readings.
25 years is the result of the work that we do with you. These are dozens of books that have the approval of both the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. And each of these books is a kind of treasury. We got them without any labor or diligence. Where the Lord has placed a seal, there will be no barriers. And we did not feel these barriers,” said Nikolai Maslov.
Pedagogy of the Holy Fathers
This year, his long-term work “Explanatory Pedagogical Dictionary” was presented at the forum. Spiritual and moral concepts." According to reviews from teachers participating in the forum, the dictionary helps in the educational process. Having become acquainted with it, students in class consciously and thoughtfully write essays on patriotic topics, and in ordinary life they begin to reason and evaluate their actions and actions differently.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Maslov about the “Glinsky Readings” and the “Explanatory Pedagogical Dictionary”:
- “Glinsky Readings” is an educational forum for teachers, which develops approaches for schools, for universities, for advanced training, the spiritual and moral foundations of education and upbringing.
For the 25th time, we have gathered here to discuss the results that we have previously done, as a practice of their implementation in educational processes, and to set new tasks in light of the fact that our state today has a great need for patriotic education, so that schools have the right concepts. Because the dictionaries that we inherited from the previous century do not quite reflect the realities of our lives.
Therefore, we have released a new dictionary - “Explanatory Dictionary”, which specifically contains spiritual and moral concepts. And much more that helps and will help people on the path of correct spiritual and moral education. This is in great demand by society today, and every year, I think, this need will increase, like water, like fresh air.
Because many have understood the inconsistency of the teachings of both the Soviet system and various democratic systems that are used in Europe today, they do not give people any benefit, they ultimately bring harm to people. And only today Russia has such enormous potential - this is the pedagogy of the holy fathers, which we are successfully translating into modern legislation, so as not to violate the modern law, but to provide the content necessary for the present generation, for the future generation. This is what “Glinsky Readings” do. - said Nikolai Maslov.
Dedicated to the memory of Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov)
From July 27 to July 29, 2017, the XXVI International Educational Forum “Glin Readings” was held at the Moscow Theological Academy, traditionally dedicated to the day of memory of Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov), a 20th-century ascetic, an elder of the Glinsk Hermitage. He carried out fundamental research on the history of this famous monastery. The book of Father John “Glinsk Hermitage. History of the monastery and its spiritual and educational activities in the 16th-20th centuries.” on the recommendation of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, it is used as a teaching aid. Teachers, clergy, military personnel and representatives of other professions take part in the Glinsky Readings.
This year the forum set its theme as “Spiritual and moral foundations of education and upbringing.”
Over the past two days, on July 27 and 28, plenary sessions were held in the MDA assembly hall.

The reading program included events ranging from prayers and all-night vigils to planning sessions and presentations.
The main meeting of the Glin readings was held by the Chairman of the Commission on Education, Science and Public Morality of the Public Council of the Central Federal District, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Master of Theology Nikolai Vasilyevich Maslov.
It is worth noting that the book “Symphony on the works of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk” by Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov) served as the basis for Nikolai Maslov’s work “Spiritual and moral education and upbringing.” Speaking about the relevance of the problem of spiritual and moral education, Nikolai Vasilyevich noted that the formation of correct concepts has always been one of the main goals of education. If the concepts are incorrect, a person’s whole life becomes a delusion. The works of the holy fathers help us restore the old - to give man the opportunity for perfection and salvation. According to the teachers present, the works of Schema-Archimandrite John (Maslov) and his spiritual heir Nikolai Maslov are very helpful in teaching and working with young people.

A person, like a white bird, is carried through this life by two strong wings - faith and love. They help us understand the happiness of our existence and experience betrayal and loss.
Life is complex and many-sided. I ask you not to allow anything in correspondence or controversy that could affect the personal dignity and freedom of religion of another person.
On these pages I am Spring. Outside the virtual world my name is Tatyana. I am a rural teacher. I teach at a school in the glorious village of Monastyrshchino, Kimovsky district, Tula region, historically associated with the Battle of Kulikovo. I am 45 years old. Born in the Medynsky district of the Kaluga region. I grew up in the wonderful, small, quiet village of Mikhalchukovo. My dear parents' names were Valentin Dmitrievich and Raisa Mikhailovna. She studied at the famous Myatlevskaya secondary school, which for many years was headed by the talented teacher and leader Alexander Fedorovich Ivanov. But, born from Kaluga, by vocation I happened to become a Tula resident. I studied at the Tula State Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Philology. And again, 20 years later, and in absentia, it was already called a university, and I chose a faculty completely opposite in profile - natural sciences.
Next to me is my husband and three children.
I love my work, children, nature, I think a lot about the geological system of the territory of the Tula region, I love the history of the Tula region. I dedicate a section on the site called “School Waltz” to pedagogy. Very often, the children I teach help me fill out the pages of the site or inspire me to create them.
I have lived my life not without troubles and mistakes. I don't keep stones in my bosom. Life motto: “Happiness is living in this world.” If you know why you live. I live near the village of Sebino, Kimovsky district, Tula region, where the Holy Blessed and Righteous Matrona was born, baptized and lived for some time, whom people call Mother Matrona or Matronushka for her help. The temple of the village of Sebino is very dear to us: here Mother Matrona prayed to God, here our children were baptized and my husband and I were married. I write about this village on the website in articles And section "Sebino"(cm. site menu), and on this topic I receive basic information from readers in the form of letters and calls.
Issues of faith and religion are quite complex and are a personal matter, so everything I write about has some value only from the point of view of history and geography. How educational and informative things are. I do not have a theological education, I was only a student of short pedagogical courses on spiritual and moral education and participated several times in the Glinsky pedagogical readings at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. That’s why I don’t give advice, I don’t have the right to do so.
My personal attitude towards Orthodoxy is that I believe unconditionally. Without fanaticism and exaltation.
I have a rule on the site: I don’t give names or anything else, unless there is special consent from the person who wrote the letter to me, only names and excerpts from letters.
The village where I live is called Sukhanovo. He has his own story.
Mail [email protected]
Write. My project is not commercial in nature in any aspect. I do not collect donations, you can make them yourself by coming to Sebino. I just write about what surrounds me.
I wish you all happiness and look forward to seeing you on the site.
