Father Georges Florovsky on Ecumenism

by Constantine Cavarnos

15 pp.
$4.95


Father Florovsky’s rôle in the ecumenical movement has been seriously misunderstood and deliberately distorted by Orthodox theologians seeking to justify contemporary ecumenical excesses. Dr. Cavarnos offers a sober and balanced analysis of Father Florovsky’s writings on ecumenism, from which it is abundantly clear that he never wavered from his firm belief in the primacy of the Orthodox Church.
