Orthodoxy in Conversation: Orthodox Ecumenical Engagements

by Emmanuel Clapsis

A coherent, creative set of essays addressing many of the critical and controversial issues of the day. He deals with a wide range of issues, including the Orthodox Church and the ecumenical movement, naming God, papal primacy, politics and the Christian faith, population, consumption and the environment, violence, what the Spirit says to the churches, the challenge of contextual theologies, and the eucharist as a missionary event. The author takes seriously the ecumenical commitment of Orthodox Christianity and attempts to do theology in dialogue with other Christian traditions and theologies, in the context of the World Council of Churches and more specifically the Faith and Order Commission.
