Dear colleagues.

   We present to you the new issue of our journal, in which we once again bring you interesting studies on selected topics. The very first one deals with an important topic that has shaken the whole of our society in our region - the topic of love and its importance in interpersonal relations, which is described in a theological spirit in the work of Andrew of Crete, as well as the consequences of its absence. The second study is devoted to the historical events and the impact of the introduced ecclesiastical unions in the region of the Russian principalities, Lithuania and Poland. The third article introduces us to the origins and content of one of the earliest attempts to versify the biblical text. Another paper deals with Anglo-Saxon studies of the tribes living in the territory of present-day Britain in the first millennium and their cultural maturity. In the fifth article, the author introduces himself to the problem of patristic analysis of the ancient writings of the Apostolic Constitutions, with appropriate critical commentary and editions. The author of the following study transports us to the spiritual pastoral ministry and highlights the seriousness of this vocation as well as the necessity of its presence not only in today's society. The last article introduces us to the basic ideas of the Trinitarian conception in the work of Gregory of Nyssa, one of the important patristic writers who contributed significantly to the resolution of the understanding of the dogma of the Holy Trinity in the interconciliar period in the fourth century.

We hope that the individual studies will enrich your knowledge with new insights and will be helpful to you in your further scholarly work.
