In 1998 the Bulgarian Orthodox Church officially announced its decision to withdraw from the ecumenical movement and organizations. This decision was more significant than it seemed. Actually the Bulgarian Orthodox Church withdrew not only form the Ecumenical Movement but also from the Orthodox World. Today the Bulgarian Orthodox Church lacks any foreign policy,since it abstains not only from participation in the ecumenical dialogue but also from important common activities of the Orthodox Churches, as for example the Joint Commission for Dialogue between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. What are the reasons for that sad development? Can we trace its origins back to the communist era? Is it somehow related to the vigorous ecumenical activities pursued by the Bulgarian church in the times of communism?
