Introduction



Fourteen Orthodox Autocephalous Churches meet in Crete in June
2016 to discuss some burning issues related to the life in the Orthodox
Church and to recapture their lost synodality / conciliarity. It is well known
that the local orthodox churches have not been able to meet together for
many centuries. Therefore the Orthodox worldwide as well as ecumenical
partners are looking forward to see the first fruits of this historic meeting in
Crete.
Three Orthodox theologians, Dr Tamara Grdzelidze (Orthodox Church
of Georgia), Dr Bogdan Tataru-Cazaban (Ambassador of Romania, member
of the Romanian Orthodox Church) and Dr Dimitrios Keramidas (Orthodox
Church of Greece) together with other younger orthodox theologians,
Deacon Leonide Ebralidze (Orthodox Church of Georgia), Alexandru Marius
Crisan (Orthodox Church of Romania), Nikos-Giorgos Papachristou
(Ecumenical Patriarchate) will look at documents which will be discussed in
the coming Council in Crete.
The session is open to all interested in the Orthodox Church and
Ecumenical Relations.
The working languages will be English and Italian. All participants will
prepare a short abstract in another language.
