The Patriarch is as comfortable preaching about the spiritual legacy of the Orthodox Church as he is promoting sociopolitical issues of his immediate cultural environment and praying for respect toward Islam or for global peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the documents reveal, the tenure of the Ecumenical Patriarch has been characterized by inter-Orthodox cooperation, inter-Christian dialogue and interreligious understanding.

These documents are drawn from his prominent leadership roles as primary spiritual leader of the Orthodox Christian world and transnational figure of global significance - influential roles that become more vital each day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished together here for the first time, the writings reveal the Ecumenical Patriarch as a bridge builder and peacemaker. One of his catchphrases is War in the name of religion is war against religion. Over the past eighteen years, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's inclination and intention have been to address the most difficult issues facing the world-the deep and increasing mistrust between East and West, the decay and widening destruction of the natural environment, as well as the sharp divisions among the various Christian confessions and diverse faith communities-whether on religious, racial, or cultural levels. He regards being a servant of reconciliation as a primary obligation of his spiritual ministry to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals the powerful influence of a spiritual institution from the unique perspective of a Christian leader in the world, and yet not of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the topics covered: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eo Faith and freedom\u003cbr\u003eo Racism and fundamentalism\u003cbr\u003eo Mutual respect and tolerance\u003cbr\u003eo Ecology and poverty\u003cbr\u003eo Human rights and freedom\u003cbr\u003eo Racial and religious discrimination\u003cbr\u003eo Church and state\u003cbr\u003eo Terrorism and corruption\u003cbr\u003eo Freedom of conscience\u003cbr\u003eo Europe, Turkey and the world\u003cbr\u003eo Religion and politics\u003cbr\u003eo Christians and Muslims\u003cbr\u003eo Christians and Jews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823231713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEcumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His all Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, spiritual leader of the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians, is the 270th successor of St. Andrew the Apostle, who founded the 2,000-year-old Church of Constantinople.
