Abstract

One of the key challenges Orthodox Christianity presents to contemporary society is the imperative to genuinely consider and embrace the “other” without imposing our desires upon them. The article first explores ethnophyletism for the background for any discussion about peace from an Orthodox perspective. Then the involvement of Orthodoxy in the ongoing discussion is critically examined. Finally the article attempts to develop a theology of just peace and tolerance, where the latter is conceived as perhaps one of the most substantial premises often neglected in the respective debates.
