Magazine Maarjamaa wishes to remain conservative despite its info-technological medium. Internet discussions are more lively than those on paper. Such a technological opportunity brings opposing sides closer and makes them more equal. Thus it offers ethical right to be intriguing or even scandalous. But please do not be provocative. The provability and sensibility of arguments of opposing sides will be decisive. To challenge the readers I offer you different views of the authors of Maarjamaa. When the aim is to look for truth and good manners serve as the rules then I will expect from readers/participants only specifying instructions. Through discussion towards truth!

Marika Katarina Arendia Elita von Wolsky Conventus Terra Mariana 1201 and 2000 A.D. (2000) Conventus Terra Mariana was founded by Bishop Albert in 1201 A.D. He devoted the territories of Estonia and Latvia to Virgin Mary. This is also the origin of the name Terra Mariana. In 2000 Marika Katarina Arendia Elita von Wolsky and Ioan Arendia re-established the Conventus Terra Mariana. Permission for it was given by the bishops of traditional Christian confessions. The goal of the Conventus Terra Mariana is to preserve eternal values. Heiki Haljasorg Medieval Upbringing (2006) Medieval upbringing was Christian. The church stated that there were no perfect people; nevertheless, it gave people hope for an eternal life in the post mortal world. For those, who repented and wished to become better persons, God was merciful. The church offered some help to people to make it easier for them to approach perfection. The medieval society was a class society. Nevertheless, everybody � clergymen, noblemen and the common people tried to imitate Christ in their everyday lives. This meant caring for each other, a community feeling, mercy, and help for the poor and the diseased, following of a strict daily programme and self-discipline.
Toomas Abiline Mary, Safeguard your Country (2001) In 2001 800 years passed since Estonia was dedicated to Virgin Mary. The most important historical source of that period is The Chronicle of Henry of Livonia (Heinrici Chronicon Livoniae). A peaceful Christianization of Estonia had happened during the 11th and 12th centuries already - during the times of bishops Hiltinius and Fulco. Thus, it is not correct to state that Christianization of Estonians did not start before the 13th century sword mission. From these times there exists also information about the first Estonian-born monk Nicolaus, who lived in Norway in the Stavanger Monastery. In 1215 Pope Innocent III stated at the Fourth Lateran Council that Estonia and Livonia had been dedicated to the Mother of God and that the Pope wanted to promote Mother�s Land as well as the Son�s Land - sicut terram filii, sic et terram matris. Marika Katarina Arendia Elita von Wolsky Altaria Mariana Order Bearers (2009) The best known bearers of the Altaria Mariana Order are the Count of Denmark Holstein-Holsteinborg, Baron Pilar Boris von Pilchau, the Archbishop of the Catholic Church Erwin Joseph Ender, the Archbishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Estonia Andres P�der, a Lutheran bishop Einar Soone, a theologian Einar Laigna, Baron Jakob von �xk�ll, the former Crown Prince of Austria and Hungary Otto von Habsburg, priests Avo �prus and Ingmar Kurg, an orientalist Haljand Udam and an historian Heiki Haljasorg.
Einar Laigna. Order and Chaos (2000) Only the law that cannot be changed is competent. The author relies on experiences from world history which show that the lasting of people and nations depends on their obedience to the real Law, unchanging and eternal - the law established by God, because the opposite of order is chaos. Where there is order set by God, there is peace.
Ioan Arendia Elita von Wolsky About Minority Nations (2003) The Estonians have always been here the main nation, they have been and are now and have been during all colonial periods in numerous majorities. It was only in the 2nd half of the XX century that the Russian-speaking alleys� number increased to one third of the population. Ioan Arendia Elita von Wolsky and his family have a good command of the local language and now they are citizens of a one more new state here. But they still feel to belong to local minority nations. Marika Katarina Arendia Elita von Wolsky�s grandparents � look nationality Volski � belonged to the tribe alley Italics, who integrated to the Roman Empire in 338 B.C. Some centuries later they migrated through Central Europe to Belgian Gallia together with Julius Caesar. Due to the changes of the borders the land possessions of the Wolsky family in Poland remained on the territory of the Russian Tsarist Empire. Several Tsars have personally been Godfathers of baby-Wolsky�s. Authors holy duty is to confirm, that all these 2000 years lived abroad do not show any signs of repression on the face of this family. Ca 1/3 of the Russian-speaking members of the former family start to come over their grief � just the opposite, nostalgic tones are heard from the side of natives. Avo �prus. From a Clergyman to the Knighthood for Discussion (2000) The author offers a joint vision of the church and the nobility of a society and the serving, developing, governing and defending of its members: united and safe Europe, humane society where the church which is supported by the nobility has a central role and responsibility as an integrator and balancer of different world views, classes and communities. The central role of the church and that of the nobility would help to fulfil a mission: mental, moral and social healing and developing of the society with the help of the church and Christian values.
Ioan Arendia Elita von Wolsky Convent Master�s Repentance (2001) I have wasted a great part of my life on self-admiration. I have sinned because I have loved myself more than other people. Thank to my childhood home and the memories of my wonderful parents and grandparents, who have brought me up following a sound Christian-European tradition, I have returned to my home almost ten years ago. Love towards everything Maker has created is the greatest treasure the Lord has given to us. These studies on love have been difficult for me, nevertheless, invigorating, because the Father Almighty has always been with me and this gives my will a supernatural power I can experience with each new skill of love I have acquired.
Ivar Soone United We Stand � Should the Catholic and Orthodox Churches Be Unified? (2010) Should the Catholic and Orthodox churches be unified with time or the differences should remain even after the merger, should it take place in any moment of the future? This is probably amongst the most debated questions regarding relations between the two churches by the congregation members of both. Yet, there is hardly any doubt that the two churches serve the same faith and share common views on most of the issues regarding Christianity, except few details such as the role and power of Pope and celibacy of priests. However, while the question of cooperation and maybe even merger of two churches is yet still to be decided on �political� level of highest clergy, the matter of identity and unification is already discussed among the regular members of congregations: indeed, should the rather different procedures and rituals of both churches be unified and turned into some common standard, as it was centuries ago, or the differences should remain?
Ioan Arendia Elita von Wolsky Concordia I and Metaphysics (2010) As known the meaning of Concordia in Ancient Greece, later also in the Roman Empire solidarity request of a single in the universe concord this way in every time moment as for ever i.e. in the horizontal and in the vertical time and space. This means the inside and dynamic planning of the dimensions with each other as it has been the will of Absolute and from what we should better be directed neither try to deform the universe.
