25 lat działalności Katedry Teologii Prawosławnej Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku
25 years of activity of University in Białystok Chair of Orthodox Theology

Summary/Abstract: The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Chair of Orthodox Theology at the University of Białystok (KTP) prompts not only memories of itsinauguration, but also deeper reflection on its mission. In his inaugural speech Metropolitan Sawa (Hrycuniak), the founder and head ofthe Chair, clearly pointed to the history of Orthodox theological studies in Poland, emphasized the role of the Faculty of OrthodoxTheology at the University of Warsaw, which operated in the years 1924-1939, and the need to continue its work. Formally and in manyother respects, it was ensured by the Section of Orthodox Theology of the Christian Theological Academy in Warsaw, established afterWorld War II, but there are many arguments in favor of ascribing the continuity to the activity of the Faculty also at the Chair ofOrthodox Theology of the University of Białystok. The article contains a broad overview of various areas of activity of the KTP,prepared on the basis of annual reports on the Chair’s activities, as well as materials available in it's archives. The scope and diversity ofindividual spheres of activity suggest that the Chair’s activities to date are not only a continuation, but also a significant development ofthe work initiated by the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Warsaw.
