Goran Sekulovksi

This article focuses on the theological work of the author of Sources, a central figure in contemporary patristic thought. Goran Sekulovski offers an analytical study of this work by examining the way its author appropriates and reactivates the heritage of the Church Fathers. The approach adopted is not purely historical or philological, but aims to highlight the existential dimension of this theological endeavor: the patristic sources are not invoked as mere scholarly references, but integrated into a living and committed reflection. The main contribution of the article lies in the identification of the mode of appropriation specific to this theologian, who articulates fidelity to Tradition and personal actualization. This study thus contributes to a better understanding of how the thought of the Fathers can be received and transmitted in the contemporary Orthodox theological context.

This article by Goran Sekulovski examines the relations between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church in the interwar period, taking as its starting point the decisions of the Moscow Council of 1917-1918. The study adopts a historical and ecclesiological approach, combining analysis of canonical sources, ecclesiastical statutes and patriarchal correspondence. The main argument is that the Moscow Council exerted a decisive influence on the organization of the Serbian Church, particularly through two parallel processes: the restoration of the Serbian Patriarchate in 1920, directly inspired by that of Moscow, and the introduction of the conciliar principle in the 1931 statutes, which institutionalize the participation of the laity at all levels of ecclesiastical administration. The contribution of the article lies in highlighting the concrete reception of Russian conciliar ecclesiology by the Serbian Church, beyond the merely institutional ties between the two patriarchates.
