The Church

Orthodox theologians such as Bulgakov, Florovsky, Afanasiev, Staniloae, and Zizioulas consider eucharistic communion to be the sign of ecclesial unity, but their understandings of the boundaries of the church and unity in love, teaching, episcopacy, and Eucharist (including intercommunion) are varied. This chapter analyses Orthodox understandings of the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the Una Sancta of the creed, considers the ecclesial status of other Christians, and assesses various models of unity, such as ‘all in each place’ (New Delhi, 1961). Unity is conditioned theologically: Christians need to confess the same faith, though uniformity is not the goal. Churches should enjoy unity in love, common service at the altar of the poor (in ‘the liturgy after the liturgy’), synodal decision-making, and communion among local churches represented by their bishops. These forms of unity do not represent successive stages, but they mutually condition each other.

The Nsukka School, which is named after the University of Nigeria at Nsukka, was a group of artists and faculty members associated with the use of uli—a form of body and mural decorative painting indigenous to the Igbo culture of Nigeria—in their work and are considered disciples of Uche Okeke’s teachings and artistic influence. The Uli experiment sought to address Okeke’s call for ‘natural synthesis’ in the visual arts of Nigeria and the formation of an art appropriate for the post-Independence age. Other members of the group who experimented with uli forms through painting and drawing were Chike Aniakor and Obiora Udechukwu, followed by their students Tayo Adenaike and Olu Oguibe.

Eucharistic Communion

A Eucaristia é o sacramento que melhor expressa a unidade dos cristãos e constitui a Igreja-Comunhão, de modo que sem a comunhão eucarística não existe plena comunhão eclesial e sem a comunhão eclesial a celebração eucarística não é vivida em perfeição. Por essa razão, urge tratar dos elementos que dividem os cristãos e as igrejas na compreensão e na vivência desse sacramento, repensando os fundamentos doutrinais, teológicos e pastorais das diferentes tradições, em vista do testemunho da unidade que a celebração da Ceia do Senhor significa e exige.Abstract: The Eucharist is the sacrament that best expresses the unity of Christians. It constitutes the Communion-Church, so that without the eucharistic communion there can be no ecclesiastic communion, and without the ecclesiastic communion the eucharistic celebration cannot lived perfectly. For that reason, we are urged to deal with the elements that divide Christians and the churches, understanding and living that sacrament. We must consider the doctrinal, theological and pastoral foundations of the different traditions, aiming at a testimony of the unit that the celebration of the Holy Communion means and demands.

Eucharistic Communion

The article analyzes the elements of theoretical and methodological knowledge on the successful functioning of the ecumenical paradigm and attempts to actualize them in the context of interfaith dialogue, which would be marked by concretized productivity. A short historical digression was also made in order to consider the influence of educational philosophical and ideological tendencies on the formation of the modern ecumenical paradigm.Examples of key elements that contribute to the effectiveness of the main dialogical forms of ecumenism are given. The explication of the concept of such a component of the ecumenical concept as "spiritual ecumenism" provides an opportunity to outline its significance as an integral element in the integrity of Catholic ecumenism and proves the practical benefits of this component for the ecumenical movement. It was found that the Second Vatican Council made adjustments to the Catholic understanding of ecclesiology, and the focus of the Catholic Church's teaching government on "Eucharistic ecclesiology." Also in the article, based on official documents of the Catholic Church, the attitude of modern Catholicism to the issue of restoring Eucharistic communion with the participants in the ecumenical dialogue is revealed. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the historical and cultural impact on the formation of the praxeological element of the ecumenical paradigm, the correlation of controversial views on the functionality and effectiveness of key forms of ecumenical dialogue. In the course of the research, such research tasks were achieved as the analysis of the historical formation of the main aspects of the ecumenical movement; a comparative analysis of the polar views of researchers and theologians on the ecumenical concept in general; a comparative analysis of the main vectors of ecumenism development under the influence of socio-cultural transformations; the common religious elements of Christian denominations, which are key in the process of constructing the main dialogical forms, were highlighted.
