ABOUT THE CRETE COUNCIL DOCUMENT: “MISSION OF THE CHURCH IN TODAY’S WORLD”. ORTHODOX CONSIDERATIONS ON THE “DIGNITY OF HUMAN PERSON”

The words of Father Professor Dumitru Staniloae have largely found their meaning in the documents of the Council of Crete. “The Mission of the Church in Today’s World” asks itself for a present apologetic message renewal. The theological debate on what are the meanings of “the dignity of the human person” is therefore more than a necessity of our days. Under these conditions inter-Christian and inter-religious dialogue take place, overcoming radical fundamentalism. By grasping the fact that “God is everything in all the things”, we will be able to overcome any preconception and become true confessors of the gospel in the nowadays world.
