“If we remember Christ on the altar of our hearts, we will be able to follow him, to be guided by him. Christ in our hearts can take us to the ends of the earth where he will wait for us and open our eyes to others.”

“I am very excited about Salt as I think the journal addresses a gap in the available missiology journal offerings and brings a perspective I know my scholarly peers in American missiology and the sociology of religion will welcome. I deeply appreciate your efforts to launch Salt and the themes and priorities you have articulated […]

“Having worked together with the Orthodox within the Ecumenical movement for many decades, I have long experience of how valuable Orthodox theology and the Orthodox mentality are in respect of mission, dialogue and issues of peace, justice and the preservation of creation.

“More than ever, we live in an interdependent world. Increasingly, the actions of those in one area (even those of one individual) have ramifications on the other side of the globe. The great political, economic, technological, and social changes over the past few hundred years have given rise to a whole new set of dilemmas […]

Salt offers us the opportunity to establish a […]

Ο θεσμός των διακονισσών υπό το πρίσμα της σύγχρονης ιεραποστολής της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας
Περίληψη εισήγησης σε διεθνές συμπόσιο της Εύης Βουλγαράκη Ο θεσμός των διακονισσών εξετάζεται συνήθως ιστορικά ή από πλευράς τυπικού, και καθώς διαπιστώνεται πως συνιστά αρχέγονη παράδοση της Εκκλησίας, ένας νοσταλγικός τόνος συνήθως επικυριαρχεί στη συζήτηση. Η συζήτηση για τα αίτια μιας αρνητικής για τον θεσμό ιστορικής εξέλιξης παραμένει πάντα επίκαιρη όσο και μια μελέτη σκοπιμότητας […]
