The Orthodox Theological Society in America (OTSA), founded in 1966, whose purpose is to promote Orthodox theology, coordinate the work of Orthodox theologians in North America, serve as a resource for the Assembly of Bishops, and engage non-Orthodox theologians interested in Orthodox theology, held its annual meeting November 7-9 at Saints Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church in Glenview, Illinois.  The theme of this year’s meeting was unity in the Church.  Papers were delivered on such topics as the early Church as a unified reality; the relationship between unity and prayer for enemies; a critical analysis of comparisons drawn between the 1054 schism and the 2018 schism (over Ukrainian autocephaly); liturgical possibilities for healing and reconciliation in Ukraine; the correspondence between political and ecclesial models of unity; synodality and local unity with the parish considered as a “local church” in the lived experience of many North American Orthodox; and iconographic images of Orthodox unity in depictions of church councils.  A panel discussion was held on questions of unity and uniformity among parishes and across local churches where the ministry and lives of women in the Church are concerned.  In addition, a special session on North American Orthodox unity included reflections and conversation with His Grace Bishop Irinej of the Eastern American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Mr. Nicholas Anton, Director of the Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations office of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. This year’s keynote Florovsky Lecture, entitled “Recovering the Fullness of Synodality: Lay Participation in the Conciliar Process,” was delivered by Dr. Paul Gavrilyuk and may be accessed on OTSA’s Past Meetings page along with a full program of this year’s meeting.
