This year the International
Ecumenical Conference on Orthodox Spirituality reaches its 30th edition.
Started in a relatively modest capacity in the 1990s, on the proposal of
Professor Nina Kauchtschischwili (1919-2010), as a conference dedicated to
Russian spirituality in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, divided
in the early 2000s into two distinct sections (Byzantine section and Russian
section) and continued in this form for seven years; therefore reunited in a
single conference starting from 2007, with the aim of promoting broader
participation, with topics of common interest, and dialogue between all the
souls of Orthodoxy, after a few years of interruption (2019-2021), the
conference it was resumed again in 2022, slightly reducing the number of
participants in order to create a climate of greater dialogue and welcome. The
basic idea that guides us in this new cycle is to delve deeper into the figures
of holiness and the spiritual authors who are at the basis of the Orthodox
tradition and who over the centuries have become the common heritage of the
entire Christian world, so much so that we can be rightly defined as
“ecumenical” saints and doctors. The conference is open to all. Papers will be
delivered in Italian, English, French and Greek, and simultaneous translation
will be provided into Italian, English and Greek.
