On the afternoon of May 5, 2025, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew traveled by air to Antalya, Turkey, accompanied by Patriarchal Deacon Anatolios Doxastakis. The purpose of the visit was to inaugurate the International Scientific Conference titled “Starting Again from Nicaea: The Significance of the Incarnation in Contemporary Theology,” held under the auspices and organizational care of the Holy Metropolis of Pisidia.
The conference brings together theologians and scholars from across the world to explore the theological and ecclesiological implications of the Incarnation in modern Christian thought, while revisiting the foundational legacy of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea.
Patriarch Bartholomew is scheduled to return to Constantinople later the same day. On Wednesday, May 7, he will depart for a planned official visit to Athens.
