Eastern Orthodox Church
The Eastern Orthodox Church, also called the Orthodox Church, is the second-largest Christian church, with approximately 220 million baptized members. It operates as a communion of autocephalous churches, each governed by its bishops via local synods.

As one of the oldest surviving religious institutions in the world, the Eastern Orthodox Church has played a prominent role in the history and culture of Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The Eastern Orthodox Church officially calls itself the Orthodox Catholic Church.

He wrote against Nazi ideology, and he had to move from Germany to Basel. When he returned to Germany, he was ordained in 1940 and became pastor in Confessing Church.

In there his stay in the " priest block" became to him a profound ecumenical experience, which led him later to dedicate his work to the reunion of the Christendom. He belonged to the ''Sammlung'' movement of Hans Asmussen and had to retire earlier from Protestant church because of his "Catholic tendencies".
