The World Council of Churches and the Interfaith Movement
Number I of Contributions to a Theology of Anti-Ecumenism

by Metropolitan Cyprian of Oropos and Fili
Translated by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna and Hieromonk Patapios

ISBN 0–911165–28–2
69 pp.
$1.95


After tracing the history of the World Council of Churches’ involvement with interfaith dialogue, Metropolitan Cyprian shows how a change in orientation gradually eroded the Christian basis of this ecumenical organization to the point that it now openly denies the necessity of Christ for salvation. Special attention is given to the shocking events in Canberra, in 1991, and the blasphemous statements and antics of the Korean theologian, Chung Hyun Kyung.
