Summary/Abstract: The hall Eastern Orthodox Tradition, as it is expressed in the texts of the Holy Fathers, testifies to the unbreakable unity of dogma and ethos-morality. This unity can be found easily in all the theological texts of Archimandrite Sophrony Sakharov, who is considered as an authentic successor of the Orthodox tradition. According to his teachings, the Orthodox faith constitutes the foundation for the Orthodox ethos (morality) and visa-versa. The dogmas of the Church do not only express its truth, but they also demonstrate the Orthodox way of life of the members of the Church. The moral virtues of love and humility express the ethical meaning of the triadological and Christological dogmas.
