Description
Summary:The article analyses the socio-political problems of the Council of Crete 2016. Based on the analysis of the Council documents, the author identifies and gives a generalised description of the main problems facing modern man, society and the state, from the point of view of the Orthodox Churches that took part in the Council of Crete. Special attention is paid to marriage and family issues, bioethics, war and peace, ecology, globalisation. The author concludes that the socio-political documents of the Council of Crete were intended to initiate the formation of a pan-Orthodox social doctrine, the emergence of which is actualised by the continuing secularisation of the modern world.
