- Title
"Turning Toward" as a Pastoral Theology of Marriage.
- Authors
Mamalakis, Philip
- Abstract
The article discusses Turning Toward as an Orthodox pastoral theology of marriage that can be offered to couples by pastors to guide them along the path of marriage, for the provision of a theological framework to understand how couples are formed in the likeness of Christ by God's grace. For the Orthodox, aside from being the celebrant of the wedding ceremony, Christ is at the heart of marriage, and the author explains that fulfillment in marriage is found as one is united with Christ.
