A "Lev Gillet" colloquium
Article summary proposed by the Contacts review with LLM assistance
This article announces the organization of an international symposium dedicated to Archimandrite Lev Gillet (1893-1980), a major figure of French-speaking Orthodoxy, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. Written in the form of an institutional announcement by Elisabeth Behr-Sigel, on behalf of the preparatory committee, the text presents the program and the planned speakers for October 2 and 3, 1993, at the Institut Saint-Serge in Paris and at the Moulin de Senlis. The article recalls the journey of Lev Gillet — founder of the first French-speaking Orthodox parish in Paris, prolific spiritual author and promoter of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue — and emphasizes the deliberately ecumenical dimension of the commemoration. The contribution of this text lies in the testimony it offers on the reception and valorization of Lev Gillet's legacy within Orthodox and ecumenical circles in Europe in the 1990s.
