Abstract

The Council, which took place on 18-26 June 2016 in Crete was an extremely important event that referred to the rich tradition of the Orthodox Ecumenical Councils. The Council pointed to the key challenges faced by man today. Among these challenges there is the ecological crisis. Teaching of the council suggests that this crisis is anthropogenic in its nature. Its sources are the secularization and the weakening of human ties with the Creator, which leads to egoism, individualism, consumerism and abuses against nature. As a chance to overcome the crisis, the council indicates ecological conversion, Christian asceticism, proper education and inter-generational responsibility.
