This book pertains to the challenges that Orthodox Christians face in the twenty-first century in regards to living in a secular and religiously plural world. The author writes about such challenges as secularism, pluralism, freedom and responsibility, human rights, and religious freedom. Additionally, he examines environmental rights, women's rights, and the rights of LGBT's from an Orthodox Christian Trinitarian social ethic. What emerges is a balanced treatment of these challenges as the Orthodox witness to the world its unique ethos deriving from the love inherent in the Holy Trinity.
