Editie in limba engleza We present today to the general public and those interested the volume Ethics, Spirituality and Ecumenism which includes the most important scientific articles held at various international congresses and conferences, on Christian Ethics, Spirituality and Ecumenism and subsequently published in journals and collective volumes.
The texts are in the original English or German language because we have tried to gather together the results of personal theological research so far and make them accessible in their initial form with exact references to the original publications.
It is difficult to say where the ecumenical interest ends and where the moral concern begins [...] The texts of this volume address ecumenical issues such as: Church, common values, reception of the other, conversion, catholicity and wholeness of the Church, theological education, Protestant Reform, modern Protestant theologians, other religions, nationalism etc., along with ethical and spiritual topics as: migration, people, state, economy, family, human freedom, faith, obedience, law, consciousness, virtues, sins and passions, will and free will, spiritual progress and perfection, etc.- Mihai Iordache.
These have helped me to better understand the crucial importance of morality and Spirituality for the Christian life and to support genuine ecumenical efforts in the future.
Rather, the special and constant interest in morality, Ethics and spirituality, which will most likely follow me throughout my life, was also facilitated by ecumenical research and meetings.
This does not mean that in the beginning I had ecumenical concerns, and later they turned into moral and spiritual issues.
The name of volume, Ethics, Spirituality and Ecumenism , signifies a symbiosis between personal theological concerns dedicated to Ecumenism and its implications at the academic, institutional and social levels, specific to the first period of personal theological research, on the one hand, and the special and persevering interest in Orthodox Morality, Christian Ethics and Eastern Spirituality, from the second period of scientific concerns and research, on the other hand.
Naturally the texts were slightly revised and modified where we considered it necessary, and the footnotes and bibliography were adapted to a common standard.
