This article presents a biographical note devoted to André Scrima (1925-2000), a Romanian Orthodox monk, priest and theologian. It is a factual entry tracing the major stages of an exceptional intellectual and spiritual life. The article highlights Scrima's singular journey: his philosophical and theological training in Romania, his membership in the hesychast group of the Burning Bush, his stays in India, Lebanon and Western Europe, as well as his role as representative of the Patriarchate of Constantinople at the Second Vatican Council. The main contribution of this entry lies in highlighting the unique position occupied by Scrima at the crossroads of ecumenical dialogue, interreligious dialogue with Hinduism and contemporary philosophical thought, making him a figure of theological and cultural mediation between East and West in the twentieth century.
