Confessing Christ today
(Bucharest-Cernica, June 1974)
Article summary proposed by the Contacts review with LLM assistance
This article examines the question of confessing Christ in the contemporary world from an Orthodox theological perspective. It is a doctrinal study structured in four parts, articulating christology, ecclesiology, liturgy and missiology. The central idea is that confessing Christ today cannot be reduced to a verbal proclamation, but engages the totality of ecclesial life: the centrality of the Logos as the ontological foundation of creation, mission as the gift of trinitarian life to the world, the eucharistic liturgy as the privileged locus of confession and witness, and evangelization as a call to conversion and theosis. The theological contribution of the article lies in the coherent articulation between ecclesial unity and mission, emphasizing that the divisions between autocephalous Orthodox Churches constitute a major obstacle to the credibility of Christian witness in the world.
