Promises, Ecumenical Openings and Risks in the Sacramental Theology of Alexander Schmemann.This article explores the sacramental theology of Alexander Schmemann, outlining a peculiar vision which is both liturgical and cosmical, in which the world itself is seen as a revelation and manifestation of God’s presence, corrupted by the Fall, restored in Christ and celebrated in the liturgy. I regard the proposal of the Russian American liturgical scholar as a worthy challenge against the secular vision of reality, yet its ecumenical outreach and philosophical framework may necessitate further interconfessional and interdisciplinary analyses.

Keywords: Alexander Schmemann, sacramental theology, liturgy, secularism, ecumenical dialogue.

Cuvinte cheie: Alexander Schmemann, teologie sacramentală, liturghie, secularism, dialog ecumenic.
