    THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE EASTERN ORTHODOX

    AND ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES


    edited by Christine Chaillot
    The main purpose of this book is to serve as a
    basis for reflection on the Dialogue between the
    Eastern Orthodox Churches (the four ancient
    Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem
    and Constantinople, that of Georgia and Patriar-
    chates founded later in Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria
    and Romania, as well as some autocephalous and
    autonomous Churches) and Oriental Orthodox
    Churches (of the Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopian and
    Syriac traditions), with unofficial dialogue since
    1964 and official dialogue since 1985. The breach
    began with a theological controversy concerning
    the relation between the human and divine natures
    in Christ centred on the expression “two natures
    (physeis) in one Person”, a new Christological for-
    mula adopted at the Council of Chalcedon (451).
    As agreed at Chambésy (Geneva) in November
    1993, we can state that: “Both families have
    always loyally maintained the authentic Orthodox
    Christological faith, and the unbroken continuity
    of the apostolic tradition, though they may have
    used Christological terms in different ways”.
    Further questions - unrelated to Christology - have
    also been raised. Another issue of the utmost
    importance is that of practical dialogue. Political,
    sociological, cultural, linguistic and even psycho-
    logical factors in creating tension have also played
    a role in the division. These topics must be tackled
    and certain areas clarified for future steps of the dialogue in order to facilitate the restoration of full ecclesial
    communion – that is to arrive at complete unity.
    This dialogue should become widely known and understood not only by theologians and scholars but also by
    ordinary people. Another aim of the book is to enhance the knowledge of this dialogue in all Churches for their
    own bilateral ecumenical dialogues with the Oriental Orthodox Churches.
    Christine Chaillot is Swiss (Geneva) and Orthodox (Patriarchate of Constantinople). She is the author and editor
    of several articles and books on the life and spirituality of the Oriental Orthodox Churches, on the Eastern Orthodox
    and also on the Dialogue between these two families of Churches. Her books have been published in eight languages.
