The main subject debated within the Colloquium of Arad was: Christ's Person in the present-day Dogmatic Theology. Contestations held by modernity and postmodernity, a fundamental subject of the theology and mission of the Orthodox Church.

In the end of the opening festivity, His Eminence Dr. Irineu, Metropolitan of Oltenia and member of the Academy, gave a paper to all the participants, called: The Son of Man: observations about the modern Christological anthropology (P. Nellas and O. Clement). The Colloquium went on with the other scientific papers given by the Romanian professors of Dogmatic Theology from all over the country, also participating in this theological manifestation. A few important points of view about the Christology of the Ecumenical Synods, the Church experience and theology, as well as the ways we confess in the present world the truth about the Person of Christ, here are some subjects emphasized during the two days of theological and dogmatic debates. In the end of the colloquium, His Eminence father Archbishop Timotei Serviciu and Father Dean Cristinel Ioja thanked the guests physically or online present for their contribution to the success of this meeting.
