Let us bring them [our children] up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Great will be the reward in store for us, for if artists who make statues and paint portraits of kings are held in high esteem, will not God bless ten thousand times more those who reveal and beautify His royal image (for man is the image of God)?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently this metaphor of parent as artist permeates Chrysostom<\/a>‘s homilies on parenting<\/a>. Combining this with the Eastern Orthodox interpretation of the Fall as inheritance of mortality<\/a>, not total inability, we get a fuller portrait, if you will, of the child. Sin, for the Eastern Orthodox,\u00a0is something learned from an inartistic parent — a broad stroke of paint or a overly deep cut in the clay. What Vigen Guroian<\/a> simply appreciates in this Orthodox orator is really setting up both parent and child for failure. It’s all about the parent and not enough about God.<\/p>\n

So Chrysostom sees the child as a product of (in)artistic parenting. To play with that metaphor, then, the child is a parent’s creation to be owned, displayed, and preserved (rather than nurtured, taught, and protected). The work is the wholly the parents’ with God-given resources. Chrysostom’s child sounds pretty much like Ovid’s Pygmalion<\/a>. Are we parents just a more common Henry Higgins?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
