Abstract
The theology of mission in the Orthodox Church Modern thought The author, an Orthodox priest, gives an overview of the theology of mission as it was developed by the Orthodox theologians in the twentieth century. Some theologians interpreted mission as the evangelisation of non-Christians and others as the social mission of the Church; boths concepts have been integrated in a more global vision. The mission of the Church is a continuation of the mission of the Son, which was to save mankind and to manifest Godʼs glory. Furthermore, Orthodoxy characterizes mission as ʽa liturgy after the Liturgyʼ. This approach tries to safeguard the divine origin and character of mission. The aim of mission is the transfiguration of the world, for the manifestation of Godʼs glory.
