Receiving the non-Orthodox: A historical study of Greek Orthodox canon law
Författare
Summary, in English
This article analyzes the development of the practice for receiving non-Orthodox in Greek Orthodox canon law. The main argument is that the development of this canonical institution was influenced by a pneumatological realist ecclesiology. This historical study of the development of a canonical institution will shed light on how Greek Orthodox canon law has functioned in practice.
