Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the delicate phenomenon of phyletism within ecumenical Orthodoxy. Phyletism, emphasizing only the particularism of living in Orthodoxy, confuses the inheritance of a nation with the values of Orthodoxy which have a universal openness and thus loses both national identity and the pan-orthodox of faith. Their balanced interweaving consists in an honest living of Orthodoxy in one’s own personal identity, in the memory of the nation into which one was ordained by God, during his generation, always open to the whole of Orthodoxy and lovingly sharing the fruits of the talents given by God and put into work according to one’s personal choice.
