The Witness of Bartholomew I, Ecumenical Patriarch
Overview
In this volume, several theologians from different Christian traditions examine how Bartholomew I as Ecumenical Patriarch has influenced the contemporary European scene, the dialogues between Orthodox churches and non-Orthodox churches, the ongoing work of the World Council of Churches, and the modern ecumenical movement. These essays paint a portrait of the Ecumenical Patriarch that has been often overlooked in Western circles—as a deeply Orthodox leader who wishes to relate Orthodoxy to the modern world and for Orthodoxy to contribute to Christian unity.

This volume of essays from different perspectives across the ecclesiastical spectrum admirably captures the remarkable significance and accomplishments, as well as the breadth, wisdom, and even spirituality of the present Ecumenical Patriarch. The vision and profundity of thought depicted in these seven chapters offer a model for leaders of other churches that is sorely needed in many quarters today.
