Eastern and Oriental Christianity in the Diaspora
Published 5 May 2020
This volume contains a selection of papers read at an international
colloquium on the way Eastern and Oriental Christianity has accommodated
itself to a Diaspora situation. The colloquium was held at the KU Leuven
in December 2016. Contributors have focused on liturgical issues (B.
Groen, D. Galadza), ecclesiological and juridical questions (A. Kaptijn,
V. Pnevmatikakis), the way the Orthodox churches are trying to adapt to
these and other challenges of modern West-European and North American
society as this was addressed in the recent Council of Crete (P.
Kalaitzidis, P. Vlaicu), and the attitude of Middle Eastern Diaspora
Christians towards Islam (A. Schmoller). In an epilogue, one also gets
an inside view on a recent initiative to establish a theological seminar
for Syriac speaking Christians (A. Shemunkasho).
