Abstract:
Personal anniversaries - which, by the way, occur only because some extraordinary individuals live among us - always present a serious opportunity to recall
past work, contemplate our present existence, and reflect on the future. After all,
the extraordinary people (and now we are talking about the prominent Ukrainian
theologian, church historian, and religious educator, Sergii Sannikov, on whom the
Lord has bestowed his first seventy-year anniversary) are not merely interesting "in
and of themselves." In fact, they are interesting to us and important because they
become mediators and exponents of things that are general, common, and typical,
such as typical traits of character, typical existential experiences, typical cognitive
intentions, or typical efforts of activity.
