Metropolitan Job of Pisidia participated as the Orthodox Vice-Moderator of the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches in the Theological Consultation organized at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Sibiu, Romania, on 13-14 May 2026 at the invitation of His Eminence Metropolitan Laurențiu of Sibiu and Transylvania.
The aim of the consultation which gathered Orthodox members of the Commission, Orthodox theologians from Europe and professors and students of the local faculty was to strengthening the contribution of Orthodox theology to the current work of the Commission.
On 15 May, the leadership, staff, and members of the Commission continued their programme in Bucharest where they were received at the Patriarchal Palace by His Eminence Metropolitan Nifon of Târgoviște who welcomed the participants on behalf of His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of Romania. The delegation also held a meeting at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology “Justinian the Patriarch,” where faculty members, students, and PhD candidates learned about the history of Faith and Order and its current study processes.
Founded in 1927 as a theological movement, the commission on Faith and Order is the think tank of the World Council of Church and a forum where Churches engage into dialogue by addressing what Christians believe (Faith) and how the Church is organized and governed (Order).
