The Summer School of Theology, titled “The Theology of the Other Under Empire Pressure,” has come to an end, leaving behind positive impressions, complex answers, and, unsurprisingly, new, even more complex open-ended questions. The Eastern European Institute of Theology team did something exceptional: they united in one space (Zoom) prominent Eastern European theologians and highly regarded world-level theologians, including Miroslav Volf, John Franke, Catherine Keller, and John Caputo. Indeed, the questions they raised and the attempts to give them a theologically sound answer in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war are certainly relevant. Since they affect the dimensions of ethics, religion, civil responsibility, and politics - one might say the "living space" in which we are all directly present and to whose challenges we must respond. 
Personally, I am incredibly satisfied with the School, and I am grateful to all those involved in its organization (Roman Soloviy, Kseniia Trofymchuk, and many others). Using the language of John Caputo, one of the leading theologians of our time, who wrapped up the School with his keynote lecture, “Unconditional hospitality – and when the Other is not welcomed,” – It was really an “event.” A special note of gratitude goes to interpreters whose professionalism was, without question, incredible.”
