On the Grounds of Christian Unity

pp. 158–171
The article examines the theological views of Protopresbyter Vitaly Borovoy on the issue of Christian unity. Over a number of years, he represented the Russian Orthodox Church in the World Council of Churches. Fr Vitaly also was an observer from the Russian Orthodox Church at the Second Vatican Council. The article is based on his published texts as well as on the manuscripts of his papers delivered at theological conferences in the 1980s–1990s. Fr. Vitaly’s views on Christian unity can be characterised by the rootedness in the Russian religious and philosophical thought of the XIX – early XX centuries, by his aspiration to renewing witness, to keeping the continuity of the Tradition of the Church in a creative way, to contributing to a constructive inter-Christian dialogue and to restoring unity by practical efforts.
Keywords: inter-Christian dialogue, unity, witness, service, confession, Tradition of the Church.
