Whilst Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative participants gathered in Helsinki, Finland, last week, a symposium was held in Oxford, UK, to celebrate the completion of the Edinburgh 2010 series of books on mission and unity. The series, published by Regnum Press, now includes over 30 volumes on topics raised by the international Edinburgh 2010 conference.
Speaking at the symposium, Dr Petros Vassiliadis (right), emeritus professor of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and President of the Center for Ecumenical, Missiological and Environmental Studies “Metropolitan Panteleimon Papageorgiou” (CEMES), drew specific attention to the Orthodox contribution to missiology over the past 50 years. In doing so he drew on material from the recently published LOI book The Mission of God: Studies in Orthodox and evangelical Mission. Dr. Vassiliadis’ paper is available here.
