Work of M. Zizioulas has been disputed in many Orthodox circles, and giving him a title "one of the world's leading theologians" is very misleading.

In other words, this article is missing part in which his writings are questioned by traditional Orthodox theology represented in the writings of the Fathers, summarized in the works of prof. V. Lossky.

The edits of Cebactokpatop do not conform to Misplaced Pages ], and contained insertions of polemic which amounted to ]. Many of the claims were unverified. I tried to improve the page to make it conform to ], and placed a vandalism tag on Cebactokpatop's talk-page.

At the same time, I added additional material concerning the content of Zizioulas' ecclesiology. (Despite the polemical allegations of 'ecumenism' previously in the article, there was previously no description of Zizioulas' ecclesiological views.)

In response, Cebastokpatop simply reverted my edits, and placed a vandalism tag on my talk-page.

I am happy to contribute edits on Misplaced Pages, but I do not wish to become embroiled in endless reverts with someone whose edits on Misplaced Pages are intended to promote a particular polemic unsuitable for an encyclopedia.

If Cebastokpatop is indeed willing to contribute towards the construction of an article which is ], I would be very happy to work with him.

=NPOV=

False accusations easily verifiable by looking at the latest revision of mine. This person is trying to quiet down the voice of the traditional Orthodox people who do not see the work of JZ as Orthodox. That is precisely what we call vandalism, and that is why you deserved tag - vandal.

] (]) 20:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

==Working towards NPOV==

I am not a vandal, and desire to work towards consensus. I am not trying to prevent an encyclopedic description of criticisms of Zizioulas' thought and episcopacy. But I am trying to prevent the article being presented from a POV.

Thank you for not reinserting certain of the earlier ] items.

I have also tried to improve the article in a number of ways:
#I have tried to remove errors from the older version of the article. E.g. Zizioulas is no longer a member of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
#I have also tidied the description of Zizioulas' academic education and career, by placing this in a separate section.
#I have added a section on Zizioulas' ecclesiology.
#I have tidied and expanded the bibliographical section.

You have now reverted these changes without explanation three times in the last 24 hours, and have therefore broken the ]. Please do not revert these sections again.

In your last edit you reinserted the sentence: "Although the many are amazed with the works of the John Zizioulas, his thought is not widely accepted amongst the Orthodox. Traditional Orthodox see his view of the personhood, Holy Trinity and The Church as untraditional, and different from the view of the Early Church Fathers, more specifically: St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nazianzus (Cappadocian Fathers)."

This sentence is not ], it is not ] and it is not of an appropriate style for an encyclopedia entry, for a number of reasons:
#The assertion that Zizioulas' thought is 'not widely accepted amongst the Orthodox' is not ] and not verified.
#It is not ] to contrast Zizioulas' thought to "traditional" Orthodoxy.
Could you rephrase the sentence and add (more) references?

Once again, I would like to work together towards ]. It would be good if you could add a ] description of (1) ''which'' "traditionalist" Orthodox criticise Zizioulas' thought; of (2) ''where'' they criticise his thought ; and of (3) ''how'' they criticise Zizioulas' thought .

I do not wish the article to be pro-Zizioulas or anti-Zizioulas, but to be ]. Hopefully we can achieve that together.

Until we come to the consensus, old revision remains. I would suggest to use sandbox until resolution.

BTW0: Only the blind would not see the references I supplied.
BTW1: Your constant quoting attitude whenever referring to the term - '''traditional''', explains who you are and where you come from.

] (]) 21:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, let's try stage by stage. I will add my earlier improvements, and you tell me if you disagree with them.

] (]) 21:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

----

Show me how below sentence is "]"? Are those two names representing whole "younger generation"? Are they "theologians" in the first place?

'''Zizioulas' theology has especially been accepted among younger generation of Greek and Serbian theologians, such as retired bishop Atanasije Jevtic or bishop Ignjatije Midic.'''

] (]) 21:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

That sentence doesn't come from me. I am not Serbian and have no view re Bps Atanasije or Ignatije.

] (]) 21:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

==Towards Consensus==

Do you really want me to provide you with references showing that Zizioulas and Florovsky are noted theologians?

Would you agree that the paragraph on Zizioulas views on personhood, etc. is weak and needs rewritten?

] (]) 21:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

You are not tworking towards the consensus with such an attitude.
