Book is forthcoming

The new book of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, was recently published by the well-known and historical Publishing House “Livanis”. The book is entitled: “The Ecumenical Patriarchate – the Preeminent and Suffering Church”, and is prefaced by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.

The new multi-page work of the distinguished Hierarch of the Ecumenical Throne and renowned author, constitutes a complex theological, ecclesiological and historical-canonical study, which investigates with scientific methodology and theological consistency a series of critical issues that have concerned the Church in recent years, as His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew emphatically emphasises, in the prologue of the book: “the present study begins with the historical past, but then confronts that which concerns the Orthodox world and theological thought today”.

Essentially, it is a mature text reflecting on pastoral concerns and hierarchical witness in an age where the falsification of the truth and the misrepresentation of history are attempted. At the same time, this new book may constitute a call to every person of good will, for a dialogue that looks towards the unity of the Orthodox Church.
