The Orthodox Theological Society in America
The Orthodox Theological Society in America, organized in 1966 under the auspices and with the blessing of the Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas, exists to:
- promote the study and development of Orthodox theology,
- coordinate the work of Orthodox theologians in North America, bringing Orthodox scholars from all jurisdictions together for dialogue and to promote the collaboration of the Orthodox churches in North America,
- cultivate scholarship, fellowship, spiritual life, and cooperation in honest, open, and collegial discourse among those engaged in advanced study, teaching, research, and writing in the range of theological subjects and related disciplines (e.g., religious studies, biblical studies, the arts, the sciences, history, law, philosophy, literary studies, and bioethics),
- serve as a resource for the Assembly of Bishops and the Church,
- and engage non-Orthodox theologians interested in Orthodox theology.
