Eastern and Oriental Orthodox: A Single Church or Multiple Churches?

On July 13, 2024, St Vladimir’s Seminary’s Seminary hosted its fourth annual Education Day Online. During the six-hour “Zoomathon,” members of the public joined in as seminary professors and guest scholars discussed topics including Scripture, theology, ethics, inter-Orthodoxy, and more.
This fourth session addressed schism and the potential of restored communion between the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox families. Leading the discussion were St Vladimir's Seminary Professor of Systematic Theology Dr Peter Bouteneff and Dr Istvan Perczel, Professor in the Department of Medieval Studies at Central European University, Vienna, and Mar Chrysostom Chair Professor at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India.
