International Conference
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, May 23-26, 2013
 The Volos Academy for Theological Studies, in co-operation with the Romanian Institute for Inter-Orthodox, Inter-Confessional and Inter-Religious Studies (INTER, Cluj-Napoca, Romania), the Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University (USA), the Chair of Orthodox Theology, Münster University (Germany), the Christian Cultural Center of Belgrade (Serbia), the Institute for the Study of Culture and Christianity (Belgrade, Serbia), the St Andrews Biblical Theological Institute (Moscow), and the European Forum of the Orthodox Schools of Theology (EFOST, Brussels), with the support of the Orthodox Metropolis of Cluj, and the Faculty of Orthodox Theology of Babes-Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca, Romania), has organized on international conference, to be held May 23-26, 2013, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, entitled: “Can Orthodox Theology Be Contextual? Concrete Approaches from the Orthodox Tradition.”
Back in June 2010, a conference was organized in Volos, Greece, by the Volos Academy and many of the same institutions which are co-organizing the current conference in Romania, entitled “Neo-Patristic Synthesis or Post-Patristic Theology: Can Orthodox Theology be Contextual?” which was a tremendous success: the papers given were of the highest quality, attendance was high, and viewership through the internet (which was broadcast in Greek and English) received 12,000 hits from 32 different countries. The conference also provoked a very lively discussion in Greece and throughout the Orthodox world, which, again, is a sign of its success.
For this reason, a follow-up conference was deemed necessary to provide concrete examples of...

The two lectures and special patristic seminar, sponsored by the Virginia H. Farah Foundation (www.farahfoundation.org ), and organized by the Volos Academy for Theological Studies, were warmly received May 15-18 in Volos and Athens.
 Fr. Andrew Louth studied mathematics and theology at the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh, and his dissertation concerned the theology of Karl Barth. Over the years, he taught patristic theology and history at the University of Durham, patristic thought at Oxford, and Byzantine and early medieval history at Goldsmiths College, University of London. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies at the University of Durham, while continuing to teach as a Visiting Professor of Eastern Orthodox theology at Vrije University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). He serves as a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church at the University of Durham, and is also editor of the journal Sobornost, as well as a member of the editorial board of other international English language journals. His research interests are primarily the history of theology in the Greek patristic tradition from the fifth century until the fall of the Byzantine Empire, as well as the theological thought of Romanian and Russian theologians in the 19th and 20th century. He has authored numerous books and articles on patristic thought, such as The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys (Oxford: 2007), Greek East And Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071 (St Vladimir’s Seminary Press: 2007), Maximus the Confessor (Routledge: 1996), St John Damascene: Tradition and Originality in Byzantine Theology (Oxford: 2005), Denys the Areopagite (Continuum: 2002).
 In the inaugural Virginia H. Farah Foundation Lecture, which was delivered twice (Volos, May 15, Cultural Center of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias, and Athens, May 16, at the Kostis Palamas Building of the University of Athens), Fr. Louth attempted to formulate some thoughts on the meaning of ecclesiastical tradition, the relationship and the distinction between the Fathers and Tradition, as well as the role of patristic thought in modern Orthodox theology. Starting from Florovsky and Lossky, he then moved to a historical overview of how the concept of Church tradition was shaped over the centuries, highlighting the key role played by western academia both in the resurgence of interest in the thought of the Fathers, and in the publishing of critical editions of their work. In this context, Fr. Louth wondered what affect the decisive contribution of non-Orthodox academic research may have on what is known as “the mind of the Fathers,” while also highlighting the importance, for the Orthodox perspective, of the liturgical experience.
After both lectures (the first of which, in Volos, was attended by His Eminence Metropolitan Ignatius), the speaker engaged

 On April 6, the Volos Academy for Theological Studies held the second conference in the series Theological Portraits, entitled “Nikos Nissiotis: The Ecumenical Theologian of Orthodoxy.” Introductory remarks were offered by: His Eminence Metropolitan Ignatius of Demetrias, who briefly outlined the life and work of Nikos Nissiotis, pointing out the importance of his dialogical style, particularly in the period in which we currently live;  Mr. Lambis Nikolaou, Vice President of the International Olympic Committee, who described Nissiotis’ involvement in Olympic sports; Mr. Athanasios Vasiliadis, Vice President of the Greek Olympic Committee, who, through personal testimony, highlighted the honored theologian’s multifaceted contribution to sports; and Mr. Dionysios Gangas, representative of the International Olympic Academy,  who in turn presented Nissiotis’ vision for an organic interface between religion, philosophy, and sports in general but the Olympic ideal in particular. Finally, in his remarks, the Director of the Academy for Theological Studies, Dr. Pantelis Kalaitzidis, outlined the main stages of the life and multifaceted career of this prominent contemporary Greek thinker. The conference was also enhanced by the presence of the late theologian’s widow, Mrs. Marina Nissiotis, who related personal moments from Nikos Nissiotis’ family life, athletic involvement, and academic career.
In the first morning session, chaired by Dr. Pantelis Kalaitzidis, Dr. Marios Begzos, Dean of the Theological School of Athens, presented “N. Nissiotis’ Intellectual and Academic Path.” In his talk, the speaker outlined the basic axes of

On Saturday, March 30, 2013, the Volos Academy for Theological Studies successfully concluded its roundtable discussion entitled “The Present and Future of Christians in the Middle East in Light of the Recent Developments in the Arab World.” The event, which was held at the “Thessalia” Conference Center in Melissatika, Volos, was part of the Academy’s broader program of events for the current academic year, entitled “Theology in Dialogue.”
The speakers (who came from countries or Christian communities of the Middle East) presented timely perspectives on the ongoing discussion not only about the difficulties facing Christians’ very survival, but also the new challenges posed by the so-called “Arab Spring.”
The roundtable began with introductory remarks by the Director of the Academy for Theological Studies, Dr. Pantelis Kalaitzidis, who moderated the event. Dr. Kalaitzidis began by noting the Volos Academy’s enduring interest in the question of the presence of Christian in the Middle East, highlighting the Academy’s previous events on the topic, especially the major international conference in Volos, organized in conjunction with the World Council on Churches, in June 2011.
The first speaker, Bishop Elia (Toumeh) of Marmarita (Patriarchate of Antioch, Syria), described the dramatic consequences of the
