To a common missionary testimony: possibilities and limits. A holy and great council of the orthodox Church, point of view

Abstract

In the framework of the World Council of Churches and in
the bilateral theological dialogues between diverse Churches and
denominations, the question of a common missionary testimony is a
quite often topic. Since 2016, when the Holy and Great Council of the
Orthodox Church was held, a new perspective showed up regarding
the Orthodox point of view. The following study tries to underline
the ecumenical perspective of how Churches and denominations
may or may not work together in the spirit of missionary testimony
into the world. The newest documents provided by the Orthodox
Church may give some new hopes in this respect.
