Diary of the Council

Reflections from the Holy and Great Council at the Orthodox Academy in Crete, June 17–26, 2016

by Maxim Vasiljević Bishop of Western America

Diary of the Council emerged from the need of its author to appropriate the problematic of the Holy and Great Council which the Orthodox Church, held 2016 in the historic land of Crete. This publication offers invaluable illumination for all those interested in gaining insight into the encounters and exchanges during the days of the conciliar sessions. The book includes the reflections and commentary, as well as the interview and message, all of which provide a living source of detail and credible eye-witness account of this historical event in the life of our Orthodox Church. The book shows that the Holy and Great Council will forever prove a watershed moment in church history, bringing our Churches into the twentyfirst century and, at the same time, opening them up to the contemporary and future challenges of our world.
