Abstract
ABSTRACT: In this article I will deal with the dialogical ethos of Trinitarian theology, its theological and political implications, including the revival of that theology during the second half of the twentieth century, and its ecumenical significance. I will expose the basic elements of a Trinitarian-based theology of personhood and communion, followed by a discussion of the meaning of the key concept of communion/ koinonia in politics. In this context I will offer a theological reflection on the political significance of the Trinitarian image in human beings and the Trinitarian dialogical ethos as derived from the fiat of creation. The article will conclude with a brief theological meditation on and critique of the authoritarian mind, thus contributing to the East-West dialogue and to the encounters between Orthodoxy and modernity and between Orthodoxy and democracy.
