This article is a personal testimony dedicated to the figure of Father Nicolas Lossky (1929-2017), Orthodox theologian and prominent actor in the ecumenical movement of the twentieth century. Written by Daniel Lossky, his grandson, it is part of a collection of eight testimonies addressing different dimensions of the work and personality of the deceased. The author draws the portrait of a man whose entire existence was oriented by a profound desire for unity among Christians, a desire inseparable from his faith and his theological commitment. The contribution of this testimony lies in the intimate light it sheds on the coherence between the life and thought of Father Nicolas Lossky, a figure of dialogue between the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant traditions, whose spiritual and intellectual legacy remains significant for contemporary ecumenism.
