This article examines the Orthodox view on reconciliation as reflected in the famous patriarchal and synodical encyclicals early in the last century and in more recent official documents: the Messages of the Primates of the Orthodox Churches, the approved documents of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church, and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew’s official statements. These are looked at in reference to (i) the mission statement of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism, Together towards Life, and (ii) the papal encyclicals Unitatis redintegratio and Ut unum sint. The article further examines the need for a common Christian witness and the reactions within the Orthodox world from a tiny but vocal anti‐ecumenical minority. It underlines the importance of a Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities along with the existing Universal Declaration of Human Rights to address the ecological problem and inequities of the current world economic system, based on the interrelatedness of economy and ecology and the consolidation of the interfaith dialogue for a wider reconciliation. The article also underlines the highest priority of the theological dialogues at all levels and by all bodies of the Orthodox ecclesial reality as a necessary step to promote reconciliation. Finally, the article assesses (i) the dialogue aiming to achieve the visible unity of the church; (ii) dialogues generally focusing on Christian unity, or even unity with other faithful; (iii) dialogues aiming as much as possible at common Christian witness; and (iv) dialogues focusing on the church’s responsibility toward society and the integrity of creation.

东正教教会的传教与和解

本文考察了正统的和解观点，该观点在上个世纪初著名的父权制和主教制时代的大公国以及最近的官方文件中都有所反映：东正教教会的灵长类信息，经批准的圣洁和大公会议的文件。东正教教堂和大主教巴塞洛缪的官方声明。参照（i）世界宣教与宣教委员会的使命宣言，共同走向生活，以及（ii）罗马教皇的百科全书，《统一论》和《联合大学》来审视这些内容。本文进一步探讨了一个普通基督徒见证人的需要以及东正教世界中一个微小但声音强烈的反普世少数派的反应。它强调了《世界人类责任宣言》和现有的《世界人权宣言》的重要性。在经济与生态的相互关系以及巩固宗教间对话以实现更广泛和解的基础上，解决当前世界经济体系中的生态问题和不平等现象。文章还强调了东正教教会现实的各个层面和各个层面的神学对话的最高优先地位，这是促进和解的必要步骤。最后，文章评估（i）旨在实现教会的明显团结的对话；（ii）通常以基督徒的团结为重点，甚至与其他信徒的团结为重点的对话；（iii）尽可能针对基督徒共同见证人的对话；（iv）以教会对社会的责任和创造的完整性为重点的对话。
