What began as personal exchanges became academic and ecclesiastical exchanges in the following century. Trade and politics created new links and occasions for meetings in the 18th century. From the 16th century onwards, church officials came more and more into contact with each other. In the twentieth century, calls for unity began to be heard and churches began to get to know each other better. Official ecumenical dialogue between the Orthodox and Anglican churches began 49 years ago. That they may all be one' was to be achieved through a doctrinal approach. Have these efforts helped to achieve communion, or has the aim of the dialogue had to change? The ecclesiological method had limited results and a new approach was needed. Since 2015, a new methodology has been used that focuses more on what humanity means to both communions, rather than debating the doctrine of the Church. This paper reviews the development of the official ecumenical dialogue between the two Churches and examines the new approach used since 2015 and its recent results. It shows how a human-centred approach based on anthropological theology has been used to answer difficult ethical questions. The research method is linked to the content of the thesis. For the historical part, which gives an overview of the official ecumenical dialogue between the Anglican and the Orthodox Church, secondary studies are used for the literature research. In order to analyse the recent progress of the dialogue, the research is based on fresh primary sources, not all of which have yet been published. Qualitative research based on interviews is also used to analyse the context of recent and future discussions.. ER -
