Ekumenizm a realizacja misyjnego posłannictwa Kościoła w kontekście dokumentów Wszechprawosławnego Synodu na Krecie

Abstract

Resolutions of The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church lay the foundations for ecumenical dialogue, emphasizing the need for dialogue primarily because of proclaiming the “Orthodox testimony” to other Christian Churches and denominations. The position of the Orthodox Church was developed regarding the principles and forms of participation in theological dialogues and in the ecumenical movement, and new resolutions were adopted confirming the all-Orthodox position. Dialogue in the Orthodox Church has always been and remains an essential and inalienable element of its soteriological mission. He has a glorious purpose for the return of those repentant to his bosom, as well as pastoral responsibility, because it unwaveringly confesses and proclaims that in its self-awareness the Orthodox Church is the authoritative continuation of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and the ark of salvation for those nearby and those from afar.
