Book about. Andrei Kuraev's "Challenge of Ecumenism" seems to us very timely. The problem of ecumenism, artificially entangled in a "Gordian knot", urgently requires either a deep theological analysis based on dogmatics, canons and patristics - church tradition, or the blow of the "sword of Alexander" - a way out of this pseudo-Christian organization.

The whole story The Church from apostolic times to the present day has been in a struggle for the purity of the Orthodox faith. Therefore, already in ancient Christian literature we can find a rule about how Orthodox Christians should treat heterodox and other-minded people. The Holy Spirit through church councils and the works of the saints. Fathers revealed to us that the Church, which continues the mission of Christ on earth, is not only the path to salvation, but the only path to it.

The Lord Himself said in the Holy Gospel about the sinner: “If the Church does not listen, then May you be like a heathen and a tax collector." And heresy is not only disobedience to the Church, but proud opposition to it. Pagans, publicans and heretics can be the subject of our concerns, but without lies about the similarity of views, equality of traditions and the possibility of unity.
