PRIMACY IN THE CHURCH is a careful and critical selection of historical and theological essays, canonical and liturgical articles, as well as contemporary and contextual reflections on what is arguably the most significant and sensitive issue in both inter-Orthodox debate and inter-Christian dialogue namely, the authority of the primate and the role of councils in the thought and tradition of the Church. Volume One examines the development and application of a theology of primacy and synodality through the centuries. Volume Two explores how such a theology can inform contemporary ecclesiology and reconcile current practices. Chryssavgis draws together original contributions from prominent scholars today, complemented by formative selections from theologians in the recent past, as well as relevant ecumenical documents. EDITOR: JOHN CHRYSSAVGIS is the Archdeacon of the Ecumenical Throne and author of many books on Orthodox theology, spirituality, and ecology.

Surrounded on all sides by Islam and those who wish to squelch the Christian Church, the beloved Bartholomew continues to impact the world for Christ from his seat in Istanbul. Fall 2016 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ministerial position of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The Orthodox Church, that great beacon of the East, boasts 300 million members worldwide, and although by definition it does not have one single leader, Bartholomew is considered the “first among equals” of all Orthodox Primates. He is a strong, humble leader who is well-loved across many political and religious boundaries. This book will be the first to include not only a biography of this pastor, pioneer, and peacemaker but also important original contributions from famous world leaders and influencers, and religious leaders, as well as US and global politicians.
