Development of Orthodox Diaspora in Southeast Asia: Anticolonial Ideology in St John’s Unknown Non-Canonical Sermon for the Members of the Orthodox Mission on Tubabao Isle, the Philippines

Abstract

The paper covers the analysis of an unknown public sermon of St John (Maximovitch) of Shanghai and San Francisco given at Tubabao Isle, Philippines, on Orthodox Pentecost, 12 June 1949. This sermon was not written down, therefore it is not published nor included in any collections of St John’s writings. We analyse the Eurasian and anticolonial ideologies contained in the sermon.
