Holy Eucharist – the source and center of the conciliar life of the Church from the perspective of the Great Pan-Orthodox Council

Jerzy Pańkowski

Abstract

The Holy Eucharist is placed in the center of conciliar life of the Orthodox Church. Conciliarity is expressed in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy and the Divine Liturgy is the guarantee of the correct conciliarity. The basis for the Holy Eucharist and for the Conciliar Church is always the unity, following the example of the unity of the Holy Trinity. The manifestation of the Eucharistic measurement of the conciliarity of the Church is its Christological and ecclesiological and then also pneumatological character. Eucharistic and soteriological perspective of the Orthodox Church is recognized only through the worship and Divine Liturgy.
