Translation of the article “The Task of Orthodox Theology in Today’s Europe” by Metropolitan John Zizioulas

In this article H. E. Metropolitan Bishop Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. John Zizioulas underlines the meaning of Orthodox Theology in contemporary Europe. Orthodoxy is not foreign to Europe but an integral part of its spiritual identity. Europe’s foundations include the Christian East just as much as the Christian West. Orthodox Theology means not a repetition of Tradition but an engagement with the past for a human future and a culture of tolerance and dialogue.
