Abstract
The background and reasons for the 1976 meeting of the Anglican-Orthodox Mixed Commission in Moscow devoted to the development of relations between the Orthodox and Anglicans are analysed. The historical analysis of the development of relations between the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and the Church of England during the previous stages before the meeting of the Mixed Theological Commission within the framework of the development of church diplomacy is made. The conditions for the emergence of the Anglican-Orthodox Mixed Commission are examined. Examples of participation in previous meetings of representatives of the ROC are given. On the basis of source analysis the materials for the purpose of the article – to determine the place of the meeting of the Anglican-Orthodox Joint Commission in the development of the dialogue between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Church of England in the 1970s – are identified. The sources for the preparation of the materials of the article were review materials contained in the 1976 issues of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate (JMP), as well as materials from Russian archives. On the basis of the research of the available sources, the conditions of the commission meeting in 1976 were revealed. The list of participants from the Orthodox churches and representatives from the churches of the Anglican Commonwealth was determined. The main topic of the commission meeting was identified – discussion of the issues of interaction between the Orthodox and Anglicans. In addition, the results of the commission meeting – the agreed joint statement of the Orthodox and Anglicans on the results of the commission meeting – are analysed. Further steps in the development of relations between the ROC and the Church of England are indicated.
