SYNDESMOS – the World Fellowship of Orthodox Youth
Report
of the 1st consultation Syndesmos, the World Fellowship of Orthodox Youth organised a consultation from 2nd to 8th August 2004 that gathered about 30 participants from 13 countries in ACER-MJO camp in Servagère-Malleval, France. The consultation was an enlarged board of administration meeting on urgent issues in the Church, with the title “Towards the Council”. The participants shared their concerns about the witness of the Church in the world and agreed that conciliarity is needed at all Church levels before the opening of the Great and Holy Council. It was approved to hold the next analogous meetings on the following items: - the unity of the Church and especially the canonical organisation of the socalled “diaspora”; - the theological and liturgical awareness of the people of God and their active participation in all aspects of Church life. In addition to this, Syndesmos will advise its member movements to hold, on a local level, similar consultations “Towards the Council… Urgent issues in the Church” and coordinate the survey in order to provide the Church pastors, in a spirit of service, an expression of the conscience of Orthodox pleroma worldwide.
