Welcome to the Institute of Ecumenical Theology, Eastern Orthodoxy and Patrology

Our focus: The Church in the first centuries. Authentic testimonies of the Church Fathers and their relevance for us today, especially for ecumenical theology.

Ecumenical theology encourages us to look beyond theological differences and recognize the common ground of all Christian faiths. It promotes unity in the Spirit and the search for a all-encompassing and inclusive church enriched by the diversity of traditions and uniting all its parts in one Christian community.
