Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the Council of the Orthodox Church, which took place in Crete in 2016. Due to its content, the text has been divided into two parts. In the first part, the preparatory process is briefly presented. The procedure of creating the documents and their approval as projects for the future Council by the Pre-Conciliar Pan-Orthodox Council is also presented. In the second part, the content of the documents, which were accepted at the Council, are analyzed. In order to present their content more systematically, the documents have been divided into three categories: A) general documents, B) documents concerning the inner life of the Church, C) documents concerning the external life of the Church.
