Abstract

“Central and Eastern Europe” is a geopolitical name for a geographic area, somewhat ambiguously delimited, that includes several countries... Geographically speaking, this territory has played a critical historical role due to its position as a link between the Western European and Asian worlds. Due to the large number of people who had to pass through it to move from one socio-economic area to another, this part of Europe has experienced different cultures and religions, acquiring a multifaith and multi-ethnic character... From a confessional point of view, Central and Eastern Europe have been under the influence of two major religions: Christianity and Islam... Considering these realities, we will explore ecumenical collaboration for the sake of mission in the 21st century in this region. In this sense, we will consider ecumenical relations, theological education, migration and diaspora, and present challenges, and will try to identify the vision of the future. We will do this by focusing on four countries from the region as critical studies: the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, and Serbia.
