During the visit of Patriarch Bartholomew with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, an agreed statement was published between Anglican and Orthodox Churches on the theology of the human person called In the Image and Likeness of God: A Hope-Filled Anthropology.
In a joint communiqué, the two leaders said that the agreement ‘celebrates what Anglicans and Orthodox affirm together about the human person, created in “the Image and Likeness of God” and will form the theological foundation for forthcoming discussions on the practical consequences of these theological presuppositions for addressing the key themes, including the protection of the environment, medical interventions, and questions around family life and ethics.’
