A protocol of cooperation was signed between the Institute of Ecumenical Studies of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas of Rome and the Postgraduate Program in Orthodox Ecumenical Theology of the International Hellenic University, with the aim of developing research in ecumenical theology and promoting cooperation between the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Church.
As reported by fanarion.blogspot.com, one of the first issues to be addressed will be the effects of the pandemic on universal relations. The Master’s Degree in Orthodox Ecumenical Theology of the International Hellenic University, which is under the supervision of Professor of Theology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Petros Vassiliadis, was created following the blessing of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
