Părintele Daniel Sisoev (1974-2009) a fost un tânăr preot căsătorit din Biserica Rusiei care a fost martirizat în biserica sa dom sudul Moscovei de un musulman fanatic în noiembrie 2009.

Prima parte a vieții

Daniel Alekseevici Sisoev s-a născut pe 12 ianuarie 1974, într-o familie de profesori și artiști, părinții săi fiind Aleksei Nikolaevici Sisoev și Ana Midkhatovna Amirova. A fost mai târziu botezat pe 31 octombrie 1977, pe Dealurile Vorobyovy. A frecventat biserica împreună cu familia sa, ajutând în altar și în corul din biserica unde tatăl său era sacristan[1]. Mai târziu, Aleksei a fost hirotonit în preoție, iar soția sa (o tătară) a învățat catehismul ortodox.

În vara anului 1988, Daniel a ajutat la lucrările de restaurare a mănăstirii Optina. Când biserica de la fosta mănăstire Novoalekseev Monastery a început să activeze, Daniel a cântat în cor. Rectorul a recomandat asta pentru că Daniel a intrat la Seminaarul Teologic de la Moscova. [2]

Seminarist și diacon

Părintele Daniel a studial la Seminarul Teologic de la Moscova[3], unde a avut ascultarea de cântăreț în cor și de conducere a corului mixt.

În 1993, el descrie începutul lucrării sale misionare pe străzi.[4]

A fost tuns anagnost pe 19 decembrie 1994 de episcopul Rostislav al Magadanului și Ciukotkăi, începând un șir de mari schimbări.

Rdr Daniel a fost cununat cu Iulia Mihailovna Brikina pe 22 ianuarie 1995, de Părintele Dionisie Pozdnyaev[5]; pe 13 mai, episcopul Eugen de Vereea l-a hirotinit diacon.

Diaconul Daniel a absolvit Seminarul Teologic de la Moscova, fiind în topul promoției, pe 14 iunie 1995, primul său copil (din trei), s-a născut mai târziu în acel an.

Ulterior s-a înscris în cursul de corespondență a Academiei Teologice de la Moscova și a fost repartizat în biserica bulgară metoc Adormirea Maicii Domnului din Gonchary, Moscova, unde a predat Legea lui Dumnezeu în clasele seniore ale Gimnaziului Clasic Ortodox Iasenevo, și i-a fost observată strictețea în respectarea Tipicului și canoanelor, ceea ce a cauzat un conflict între el și Arhimandritul Boris (Dobrev), rectorul metocului din acel timp.

Din august 1996, patriarhul l-a binecuvântat să țină conversații misionare în metocul patriarhal Kriutitsi cu oameni care au suferit din cauza influenței sectelor și a activităților oculte. A început lucrul la Centrul de Reabilitare Sf. Ioan de Kronștadt, sub directiva ieromonahului Anatolie (Berestov).

În 1999, diaconul Daniel și-a publicat prima carte, intitulată Cronica începutului, care a fost publicată la mănăstirea Sretenski și dedicată doctrinei patristice și creației. Pe 24 mai 2000, i s-a acordat o scrisoare de recomandare pentru predare de la Departamentul de Educație Relgioasă și Cateheză; în luna iunie a acelui an, consiliul Academiei Teologicie de la Moscova i-a aprobat teza sa, Antropologia și analiza adventiștilor de ziua a șaptea și a societății Turnul de Veghere. În același an, Hexaemeronul împotriva evoluției, redactat de diaconul Daniel, a fost publicat.

Preot și misionar

În 2001, a fost hirotonit în preoție și i-a fost născut al doilea copil. A fost transferat la biserica Sfinții Petru și Pavel din Iasenevo, Moscova, unde a devenit secretat al centrului misionar-educațional Shestodnevși și-a continuat lucrul la centrul Sf. Ioan de Kronștadt. În această perioadă, a fost publicată antologia sa Revelația divină și știința contemporană; în cursul vieții sale, a publicat peste o duzină de articole despre creație și pe teme antisectare.

In 2005, the Moscow city government allocated Fr Daniel's community 0.5 hectares (just under 1.25 acres) of land in Kantemirovskiy, Moscow, for the construction of a stone church, dedicated to the Prophet Daniel. By November 2006, land was cleared of undergrowth and debris by the community, and a small, temporary wooden church was dedicated to the Apostle Thomas. Fr Daniel's parish aimed to convert non-Christians, mostly non-Russians who resided in Moscow, and was in an ideal location to do this, as Kantemirovskiy distict is the district of many expatriate communities and where many different sects are active. The parish runs missionary courses, singing lessons, iconography classes and a scout group. Fr Daniel also opened a catechetical school about the basics of Christianity, and ran a successive five-week catechetical course for those who wished to know more about Christianity (whether for baptism or for interest). In time, a community of Orthodox Tartars (began in 2003) built up, and the information agency of St Akhmet began activity. Fr Daniel's church had initiatives such as an open house, where the church would be open and the priest available for questions. Molebens were frequent, particularly for conversion of the non-Orthodox, and also for students at the nearby Moscow Engineering and Physical University. Fr Daniel later began to offer missionary courses, preparing preachers of the Gospel.

In 2009, the parish had some difficulties from the Moscow City Department of Environment Management, due to a change in thought about the use of that allocation of land (changed to a park and nature reserve). Due to popular demand, however, a church remained a part of the draft General Plan for the area.

As rector of St. Thomas' church in southern Moscow, Fr Daniel was a noted missionary, especially among the Muslim, neo-Pagans, and Protestants communities of Russia. As the Orthodox Church in Russia has come around to the importance of missionary work in recent years, Fr. Daniel became known for his active missionary work, particularly among non-Orthodox, and also for his bright polemic performances. He established an active missionary movement, including training Orthodox street preachers. He had especially built a reputation as a priest who stood out for his proselytizing work among Russia’s Muslim community, baptising around eighty Muslims [6].

His initiatives included other non-Orthodox communities. Fr. Daniel was noted for promoting a number of cultural and religious initiatives among Chinese students in Russia. [7]

Stances on Contemporary Issues

Fr Daniel advised Christians not to attend classes in:

  • Yoga and yoga exercises
  • Karate
  • Latin American dance
  • Belly dancing

Fr Daniel was also critical of Darwinian evolution.

Critică

In 2007, Mufti Nafigulla Ashirov, Co-chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, sued Fr Daniel in court for his book Marriage to a Muslim, which, the Mufti said, contained expressions offensive to Muslims. Furthermore, journalist Khalida Khamidulina accused Fr Daniel of inciting hatred of Islam in his publications and filed a suit in court against him.

At the same time, neo-nazi groups expressed their displeasure with Fr Daniel’s views, and ultra-rightwing Orthodox publications criticised him for his anti-monarchist position.

In addition, some Old Ritualist spokesmen believed that he attacked their faith, considering his publications on Old Ritualists as slanderous. They accused him of poor reasoning, faulty judgement, and distortion of historical facts.

Martiriul

As a result of his preaching, Fr Daniel received death threats constantly[8]. October 9, 2009 in his LiveJournal, he made a record:
I have news again. Today, you'll laugh, but Muslims once again have promised to kill me. Now by phone. Already tired. The 14th time. I've got accustomed, but earlier it "strained". And so, God doesn't give - Islam willn't eat.
And so, I ask you all to pray.[9]

On November 19, 2009, between 23:10-23:20, he was mortally wounded in his church by a Muslim fanatic, who shot him four times. The killer also heavily wounded the parish’s choir director Vladimir Strelbitsky. An hour later around 12:15am on November 20, Fr. Daniel died on the operating table at a Moscow hospital[10][11] Fr Daniel was 34 years old. Fr. Daniel was the twenty fifth Orthodox priest murdered in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Later, in December 2009, a militant Islamic group based in the North Caucasus took credit for the murder of Fr. Daniel. According to a statement made by Russian Islamists and released on kavkazcentre.com:

"One of our brothers who has never been to the Caucasus took up the oath of (former independent Chechen president Doku Umarov) and expressed his desire to execute the damned Sysoyev"[12]

Aprecieri postume

Patriarch Kyrill I of Moscow called Fr. Daniel a confessor of the faith and a martyr for the cause of evangelical preaching.[13]

Mother Prosdokia, abbess of the Ormylia convent in Greece, stated that "it is time to not to pray for Fr Daniel, but to pray to him", expressing that he is a saint. Many Orthodox in Greece venerate Fr Daniel in a similar manner to those martyred during Turkish occupation of Greece. [7]
