Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will discuss the relationship between social teaching on the Holy Trinity and Orthodox social, ecological, and liturgical ethos. One of the primary questions concerns the responsibility of the Orthodox Church and theology in the face of contemporary challenges, particularly in relation to the ecological and social crisis. In the context of the environmental crisis facing our planet, the world, and the society in which we live, we must consider our theological responsibility for ecological sin, which is not only personal but also socio-cultural in nature. What can we learn from the intersubjective love of the Holy Trinity in relation to transforming our way of life into a lifestyle that is both liturgical, social, and ecological? The concept of rationality of action (Handlungsrationalität) and, especially, trinitarian rationality of action may be helpful here in demonstrating that trinitarian intersubjectivity implies a socio-ecological wisdom that should mark the action of the Church and Christians alike.
