Edited by Eleni Kasselouri-Hatzivassiliadi, Fulata Mbano Moyo and Aikaterini Pekridou

Included in this volume are distinctive voices of Orthodox women – well-known theologians with a history of involvement who have made significant contributions to the ecumenical movement, but also promising theologians with new insights. These women echo the achievements and weaknesses of the participation of Orthodox women in past ecumenical debate. They articulate the concerns and challenges of the present moment in conjunction with Orthodox women’s current presence in the ecumenical movement. And they envision their future participation in this movement, shaping its agenda for the years to come.

This book is a coherent collection of eighteen papers by Orthodox women theologians based on their personal experiences of living out their faith in Christ in their diverse local communities. In their own words, they offer a historical and theological assessment of their participation in the ecumenical conversations up to present, and emphasize the areas of future work according to the needs of their particular contexts.
