Abstract
Today the world is becoming more pluralistic everywhere, and therefore we cannot ignore the people of other faiths in Christian theology and mission. This essay is an attempt to shed light on the new situation the Christian church is facing, and the new challenges Christian mission is encountering. This essay surveys the life and work of His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios Yannoulatos, Archbishop of Tirana, Durrës and All Albania, who, as Archbishop, theological teacher, and ecumenical leader at the World Council of Churches, takes seriously Christian mission on the one hand, and the people of other faiths on the other. His struggle to deal with the ambiguous relationship between Christian mission and interreligious dialogue is the focus of this essay. In the first part of my work, it will be presented the context of the problem, in the second it will be analyzed the vision of some theologians about the debate on Christian mission and / or on the interreligious dialogue, and finally in the third part, the Anastasios' contribution to Christian theology in general and interreligious dialogue in particular will be summarized.
