Orthodoxy and mission are two terms that at first glance seem quite incompatible, at least to the Western historians of mission. When in 1910 the historic gathering of missionaries across denominational boundaries took place in Edinburgh to launch an inter-denominational missionary cooperation, Orthodoxy was completely marginal. In their deliberations, there were only references to the Oriental and Greek churches, always within the framework of the Western (mainly Protestant) mission. Even in the generation that followed, no article on the importance of mission was written by Orthodox theologians. The initiatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate at the dawn of the 20th century, which invited all Christians to address together the great challenges of the 20th century, only later were brought into the Christian attention.
