Description

The Seminar addresses the public presence and witness of the Orthodox churches in the liberal democratic and plural societies. In the global culture, Human Rights constitutes the minimum requirement for living in communion with the religious and secular others and fundamentalism reflects the militant resistance against the effects of globalization upon the tradition and the practices the Church. The seminar will articulate theological reasoning that justifies the active, critical, dialogical presence of the Orthodox Church in the plural democratic societies, the limits of such participation, and provides an Orthodox theological understanding of fundamentalism as it effects the witness and the life of the orthodox churches.
