Κατά το διάστημα από 30 Ιουνίου έως 14 Ιουλίου 2019 η Ακαδημία Θεολογικών Σπουδών Βόλου υλοποίησε πρόγραμμα επιμόρφωσης (Θερινό Πανεπιστήμιο) κληρικών και λαϊκών της εν Ουκρανία Αυτοκέφαλης Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας, η σύσταση της οποίας σηματοδοτεί μία νέα εποχή στη σύγχρονη ιστορία της φίλης, όσο και πολύπαθης αυτής χώρας, αλλά και της παγκόσμιας Ορθοδοξίας. Η απόφαση της Αυτού Θειοτάτης Παναγιότητος, του Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχου κ. κ. Βαρθολομαίου Α΄ και της Αγίας και Ιεράς Συνόδου του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου οδήγησε στη θεραπεία ενός σχίσματος που στερούσε εκατομμύρια πιστών από την κοινωνία με την παγκόσμια Ορθοδοξία. Η μακροχρόνια εκκλησιαστική ανωμαλία και η επί δεκαετίες απομόνωση δημιούργησαν συνθήκες οι οποίες καθιστούν πρόδηλη την ανάγκη επιμόρφωσης του κλήρου και των θεολόγων της νέας Εκκλησίας.
Στη συνέχεια λεπτομερές πληροφοριακό υλικό για το σημαντικό αυτό πρόγραμμα.

The program
was organized in such a competent, diverse and useful way that we were able to plunge into
the wonderful and original world of Greek Orthodox theology. We extraordinary pleasure from
the lectures of leading contemporary theologians, especially it is worth mentioning the
metropolitan John Zizioulas, whose theological works are translated into Ukrainian and enjoy
insane popularity in our homeland. For most of us, a personal meeting with him is a real
spiritual feast. Visiting churches, monasteries, holy places and museums allowed us to dive
deeper into the Byzantine cultural tradition. It was also extremely valuable to receive lessons of
Modern Greek that in the near future will open the door of free communication and
familiarizing with the original sources of patristic haritage and works of modern theologians.
It is extremely important that we were able to get not only theoretical knowledge, but in fact
feel the particular love, concern and care from the Metropolitan of Dimitriad Inhatia, Dr.
Pantellis and the entire staff of the Volos Academy. This is a true witness of our unity in Christ.
On behalf of the devout and grateful Ukrainian people, accept, Your All-Holiness, prayerful
wishes of good health, encourage, inspire, strengthening grace of the Holy Spirit and God-given
wisdom for your patriarchal service on the Constantinople’s Throne.
