MAN, THE CUSTODIAN OF CREATION
Vatican City, 6 September 2012 (VIS) - "Man, the Custodian of Creation" is the
theme of the twentieth International Ecumenical Congress of Orthodox
Spirituality, which began yesterday in the Italian monastery of Bose. The
event is due to conclude on 8
September.
"In the Christian tradition of both East and West, dwelling on the earth is a
task entrusted to mankind as custodians but also as guests of creation", reads
a communique on the event. This topic will be developed on the first day of
the congress in
talks by Fr. Enzo Bianchi, prior of the monastic community of Bose, and by His
Eminence Metropolitan Ioannis (Zizioulas) of Pergamo, representative of the
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. The Holy Father, through Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio
Bertone S.D.B., has sent a telegram to participants, expressing the hope that
"the fraternal encounter and discussions of these days may favour mutual
knowledge and the sharing of faith, arousing and renewing a joint commitment
to protect God's gift of
the creation".
The congress is being attended by representatives from the Orthodox Churches
and from the Catholic Church. Catholic representatives include Cardinal Roger
Etchegaray, vice dean of the College of Cardinals; Archbishop Antonio Mennini,
apostolic nuncio to
Great Britain, and Bishop Mansueto Bianchi of Pistoia, Italy, president of the
Commission for Ecumenism and Inter-religious Dialogue of the Italian Episcopal
Conference. Also present will be representatives from the Church of England
and from the Reform
Churches, the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for
Promoting Christian Unity, as well as theologians and academics from all over
the world.
The communique continues: "During the four days of meetings and debates, which
are open to the public, speakers will examine the theological and spiritual
dimensions of man's relationship with his environment, seeking values capable
of inspiring
responsible choices in the face of the ecological crisis, which has been
provoked by man himself and is causing irreversible damage to life on our
planet".
Orthodox Church teaching on ecological matters will be presented by Bishop
Amvrosij, rector of the Theological Academy of Saint Petersburg, while the
scholars John Behr of New York, Nestor Kavvadas of Tubingen and Assaad Elias
Kattan of Munster will
speak on such subjects as: the goodness of creation according to biblical
narrative, the relationship between wounded and healed nature and the history
of salvation, and the understanding of the relationship between human beings
and the creation in the
Fathers of the Church from Irenaeus of Lyons to Maximus the Confessor.
