Inhaltsangabe

John Meyendorff, in his own words, has dedicated most of this life to teaching and to investigating the past of Christianity, studying the ways in which the faith of the Church was confessed throughout the ages by the Fathers of the Church. His editorials reprinted in Vision of Unity ask the question: Can we survive in chaos and disunity? They are presented into two sections: 1) the issue of Orthodox unity in America, and 2) the basic principles of the Church structure. Throughout, the Church is revealed as a "conciliar" Church, the Church of all people, clergy, laity, old and young, men and women--the "Catholic" Church, of all nations and generations.
