XXIV INTERNATIONAL ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE

ON ORTHODOX SPIRITUALITY

IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ORTHODOX CHURCHES

MARTYRDOM AND COMMUNION

Bose, 7-10 September 2016

---

Conference Summary:

The conference hopes to shed light on the close ties between the witness rendered to Christ by the martyrs and communion between the Churches in their scriptural and patristic foundations and in particular in the traditions of the various Orthodox Churches. The subject is dramatically present today in times of war and persecution that touch many Christian communities in the world. The experience of the martyrs of the twentieth century is a precious evangelical heritage for all the Churches and for all mankind.
