In memoriam Paula Minet (1910-1993)

This article is a commemorative text dedicated to Paula Minet (1910-1993), a contributor to the journal *Contacts* and a figure in the French-speaking Orthodox community in Paris. Written in the form of an *in memoriam*, it traces the spiritual and intellectual journey of this woman, born into a freethinking family in Lyon, who converted to Orthodoxy in 1971 within a parish under the Moscow Patriarchate. The article highlights her editorial contribution to the journal *Contacts*, particularly in managing the bibliographical section, as well as her participation in the *Catéchèse orthodoxe* collection published by Éditions du Cerf, for which she wrote an *Orthodox Theological Vocabulary*. This tribute sheds light on the discreet yet essential role that committed laypeople played in the development of Orthodox theology and ecclesial life in France during the twentieth century.
