From the Generation of the ‘60s to the Challenges of Today"
Paris,
April 15-16 2010
Istina Center -
St. Sergius Institute of Orthodox Theology
The Volos
Academy for Theological Studies of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias, working
jointly with Istina Center, St. Sergius' Institute of Orthodox Theology, the
journal Contacts and www.orthodoxie.com web site, are organizing
a scholarly conference on 15-16 April 2010 at Istina Center (45, rue de Glacière,
75013) and in St. Sergius' Institute (93, rue de Crimée, 75019) in Paris,
France, whose topic is "The Renewal of Contemporary Greek Theology: From
the Generation of the ‘60s to the Challenges of Today."
The 20th century was, for Orthodoxy, a period of significant
change and upheaval. With the rise of the ecumenical movement, Orthodox
theology, particularly within the framework of Orthodox Diaspora, emerged, for
the first time, from its introversion and confessional isolation and entered
into dialogue with the other major Christian traditions, as well as the
challenges of the modern world. This promising process of Orthodox renewal was
closely connected to the so-called "neo-patristic synthesis" and noted
theological figures such as Fr. Georges Florovsky, Vladimir Lossky, Paul
Evdokimov, Fr. Nicholas Afanasiev, Fr. Dumitru Staniloae, Fr. Justin Popovic,
Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Fr. John Meyendorff, and Olivier Clément, as well as
the lesser-known contributions of theologians and philosophers of the Diaspora,
such as Fr. Sergei Bulgakov and Nikolai Berdyaev. In addition to these figures,
one would do well to also remember the contributions, in recent years, of Greek
theologians such as Nikos Nisiotis, Savvas Agouridis, Fr. John Romanidis, His
Eminence Metropolitan of Pergamon John Zizioulas, Christos Yannaras, Panayiotis
Nellas, Fr. Vasilios Gondikakis, Nikos Matsoukas, and George Mantzaridis, among
others.
However, in an era of rapid change -i.e. late
modernity, globalization, and multi-culturalism-, Orthodoxy is today confronted
with radically new challenges that were hitherto unknown and completely
different from what it has experienced in its past-challenges that require
reflection and creative thinking.
