Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in the Face of Historical and Ecclesial Challenges
Abstract
The study presents selected aspects of the pastoral and writing output of Metropolitan Andrey
Sheptytsky. Obviously, they do not encompass or exhaust the complete range of his activity and
genuine achievements during his ministry in the Greek Catholic Church. But it was not the purpose
of this study to list all the accomplishments or to emphasize the general effect of the works of this
outstanding hierarch of the Church. The overriding reason for bringing out Sheptytsky’s profile was
the attempt to show him against the background of his epoch and its specific historical-religious
circumstances, in order to draw attention to his stance as a person and Church hierarch in the
context of essential historical challenges. The following issues are tackled: Sheptytsky’s impact on
the shaping of organizational and spiritual matters of his Church, his initiation of the movement of
renewal of the Eastern rite in the Eastern Catholic Church, his openness to cooperation and
strengthening relations within the Christian communities. Last but not least, the author wished to
accentuate the personal authenticity of the Metropolitan, who has not always been assessed in
a reliable and objective way.
