Еcumenical Love Of Аrchimandrite Sophrony Sakharov As Response On Ethnophyletism

Summary/Abstract: Subject of ethnophyletism has became very actual in modern theological polemics, especially after Crete Council in 2016. Although condemned as heresy 150 years ago, it seems that ethnophyletism have “survived” and that it still represents a serious problem and a challenge for Orthodox Church worldwide. Becide theological defining and critics mentioned problem of Church demands a consistent theological response. While dealing with writings of archimandrite Sophrony Sakharov, I found that he has already gave such response, solution and alternative to ethnophyletism. It is Christian universalism impregnated with personhood. This approach archimandrite Sophrony affirmed during whole of his life. In order to show that it can be used to overcome problem of ethnophyletism in Church I gave in this text as first one brief analysis of conception of ethnophyletism. Then I made a retrospective view to biographic details of archimandrite Sophrony that might help us to understand how his universal theological views were established. In the end, I made a point that many statements from writings of archimandrite Sophrony represents responses on ethnophyletistic tendencies with which he used to meet and that these responses might serve to us as well for clear taking attitude in respect to ethnophyletistic approach of our contemporary.
