Summary/Abstract: In the article, its author aims at presenting the essential contents of the document of the Holy and Great Council in Crete (2016): Relations of the Orthodox Church with the Rest of the Christian World. In the first part, he presents the origin of the document very briefly. In the second part, he discusses the most controversial points of the studied text. In this context, he draws the reader’s attention towards three issues: self-consciousness of the Orthodox Church, her stand on the ecclesial status of the non-Orthodox Communities and her understanding of her ecumenical involvement. In the third part, the author presents selected problems that have appeared in reception of the analysed document in the Orthodox world. At the end, the author claims that the Cretan Council has not managed to definitively solve the issue of the relations of the Orthodox Church with other Christians, with whom she has conducted ecumenical dialogue for decades.
