This monograph unfolds the story of the ecumenical turn in Orthodox-Catholic relationships in the 1960s, with special focus on one of its chief architects: Andre Scrima (1925-2000). Therefore, the central objective of the monograph is to reconstruct Scrima’s active involvement in the events that marked an epochal shift in Orthodox-Catholic relationships in the context of the Second Vatican Council. In doing so, the monograph argues that his work in the service of reconciliation between the Church of Constantinople and the Church of Rome was instrumental to the positive change that occurred in Orthodox-Catholic relationships in the 1960s, which influenced the course of interaction between the two major Christian traditions in the decades that followed and continues to do so even today.
Viorel Coman, Dr., is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, University of Bucharest, and Research Associate at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, KU Leuven, Belgium. He is the co-chair of the Ecumenical Group of the International Orthodox Theological Association and a former secretary of the Societas Oecumenica – The European Society for Ecumenical Research.
