: Even though it is most likely false, it is worth mentioning because it's a common accusation. Encyclopedic articles deal with what's notable about their subject, both good and bad. —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

@ Andreas and Deac. Andrew : I'm afraid that the evidence supporting antisemitism exists among the writting of Nikolai Velimirovitch. For instance, in the bishop's essay called "''Nacionalizam Svetog Save''" (''Saint Sava's Nationalism'') written in 1938, bishop Nikolai promote his idea of a national church as being the ideal pursued by saint Sava. He concludes his essay as follows: " ''The idea pursued by Luther to create a national church in Germany was taken over by the current German leader [Hittler]... respect must be given to the current German leader who, as a simple citizen coming from the working class and at the same time a man from the people, has been able to perceive that nationalism without faith is a cold and uncertain mechanism. And now during the 20th century, he has achieved the idea of saint Sava and as a layman, has taken over the most important duty that characterizes only a saint, a genius and a hero. As for us, this duty was fullfilled by saint Sava''[...]"
His admiration for Hittler tells us something rather worying about his alleged antisemitism. Beyond the question of antisemitsm, there is the more general question about the nature of his nationalism (as it transpires from another of his writtings entitled "''srpski narod kao teodul''"). How compatible is his religious nationalism with the idea of a universal church one would wonder ?
By the way, thank you Deacon Andrew for your honesty by making mention of the antisemitsm accusations -eventhought I personally believe that religious nationalism is the true problem. Therefore, please do not remove this quote as '''there is''' scriptural evidence for it.
