This article is a contribution to the ongoing debate about how the pan-Orthodox vision of unity and the overall Christian vision of Christian unity are co-related, following the Pan-Orthodox Council in Crete in June 2016. The first section considers how modern Orthodox relations to ecumenism arose: in particular, how the vision of pan-Orthodoxy and that of Christian unity were intertwined.
The sections that follow concentrate on examples taken from Orthodox-Hussite relations.
