With the push for a pan-Orthodox acceptance of the Pre-Synodical text, “Relation of the Orthodox Church with the Rest of the Christian World,” a century long process of distortion of Orthodox ecclesiology is coming to fruition. In this lecture, in the brief time allotted me, my intention is to succinctly present the origins of new teaching, two of the pillars of the new Vatican II ecclesiology which largely rest on this teaching, the adoption of this error by Orthodox ecumenists and the attempt to secure pan-Orthodox reception of it via the pre-Synodical text on the heterodox.

INTRODUCTION
On the one year anniversary of the "Council" of Crete, the following article was published in Greek on the website romfea.gr. The intent of the article was twofold: both to commemorate the anniversary of the gathering and to provide a response to a misleading article written by Evangelos Sotiropoulos, a journalist at the Huffington Post. The translation and editing of the article has been greatly delayed, for which we apologize to the many subscribers to this site and others who have written asking for a response in English to Mr. Sotiropoulos' article. In spite of the delay, we believe our readers will still find the article quite timely, informative and helpful.
There is another reason for the delay in publishing the text, first in Greek and then in English. Responding to critics, especially those who reach a wide, but uninformed audience, is a venture doomed to bring mixed results.
On the one hand, a response will assist those confused or mislead by the critic's distortions to see the entire picture and put each aspect of the problem in context, hopefully thus dispelling the cloud of misinformation which has been created. On the other hand, a response will give credence and legitimacy to the critic and the appearance that he is qualified to speak on these matters. This is all the more true when responding to non-academics or theologically uninformed journalists who write for highly politicized newspapers.
In spite of our reservations, we offer this analsysis and response for the sake of the faithful and good-willed readers and pray that it will serve to establish them on the rock of faith.

A talk given to the hierarchs, clergy, professors, students and guests of Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary, in Jordanville, NY, who gathered for the feastday of the school, that of the Three Hierarchs, Ss. Basil the Great, John Chrysostom and Gregory the Theologian, on January 30, 2017 (February 12, according to the civil calendar).
The talk examines the two types of wisdom (ἄνωθεν and θύραθεν), the process of coming to the knowledge (επίγνωσης) of Truth, the work of a seminary, which is to create mystagogues, the presuppositions of dogmatic theology and knowledge, and the inrelation of dogma and ethos, faith and life.

An address prepared for the Academic Conference "The Mission of the Orthodox Church and The World Council of Churches," sponsored by the Pan-Hellenic Union of Theologians (Athens, May 15, 2005).
The paper is a brief examination of the historical roots of modern ecumenical movement in the Protestant Missionary Societies and International Student Groups. The paper briefly passes through five milestones on the way to Orthodox involvement and the encyclical of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of 1920.
It begins with an introduction, The Historical Record and the Ecclesiological Framework of Ecumenism. The five Milestones are: The Protestant Missionary Movement of the 19th century, The Evangelical Ecclesiology: The Invisible Church; The Y.M.C.A. and Student Christian Movements: The Inspiration of the Ecumenical Generation; Edinburgh 1910: The Cradle of Modern Ecumenism; Widening the Notion of the Church: The 1920 Encyclical and Early Orthodox Participation.

Συστάσεις για το βιβλίο:
Η διατριβή αυτή είναι σημαντική και μία αξιόλογη προσφορά στο θέμα τού διαλόγου μεταξύ "Ορθοδόξων και Ρωμαιοκαθολικών", σε σχέση με την Εκκλησία, τα Μυστήρια και τον οικουμενισμό. Είναι μία μελέτη άκρως επιστημονική και βαθειά πατερική και εκκλησιολογική. Προσφέρει άγνωστο υλικό για τούς πολλούς και κινείται σε ορθόδοξη προοπτική. Είναι μελέτη αποκαλυπτική και ρίπτει δυνατό φως στη σύγχρονη πορεία τού οικουμενισμού.
- Ιερόθεος, Μητροπολίτης Ναυπάκτου και Αγίου Βλασίου.
Με τη μελέτη τού π. Χιρς για πρώτη φορά ερευνάται τόσο επισταμένως η ιστορική πορεία τού διαχωρισμού τού Βαπτίσματος από τα άλλα μυστήρια και ερμηνεύεται, πώς αυτό οδήγησε στην "επέκταση" τής Εκκλησίας και παγίωσε ήδη μία νέα Ρωμαιοκαθολική Εκκλησιολογία. Δεν συνιστά μόνο μία επιστημονική συμβολή σε ένα σοβαρότατο θεολογικό θέμα, αλλά είναι μία εκκλησιολογικού χαρακτήρα μελέτη, η οποία συνεισφέρει στην Εκκλησία τα μέγιστα σήμερα, επειδή ανοίγει νέες προοπτικές για κάθε καλοπροαίρετο αναγνώστη είτε Ορθόδοξο είτε Ρωμαιοκαθολικό.
- Δημήτριος Τσελεγγίδης, Καθηγητής Θεολογικής Σχολής τού Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.
Η μελέτη είναι μοναδική γαι το θέμα, διεισδύοντας στον πυρήνα τής περί μυστηρίων ρωμαιοκαθολικής, αλλά και τής Ορθόδοξης διδασκαλίας. Αποσαφηνίζει, κατά τον ευστοχότερο τρόπο, τις εντελώς διαφορετικές προϋποθέσεις προσεγγίσεως και τού Βαπτίσματος από τον Ρωμαιοκαθολικισμό και την Ορθοδοξία. Με την έρευνα τού πατρός Χιρς πολλά ζητήματα διαλευκαίνονται, παλαιότερες θέσεις ανατρέπονται και νέες ερευνητικές προοπτικές χαράσσονται για μία αντικειμενική και ψύχραιμη αποτίμηση τής πορείας τού Διαλόγου και τών αληθινών δυνατοτήτων του. Η διατριβή συνιστά ουσιαστική συμβολή στις σημερινές οικουμενικές σχέσεις και θα προσεχθεί ιδιαίτερα.
