141 Timothy Ware, 'God in Trinity' from
The Orthodox Church (London: Penguin
Books, 1963), pp. 216-18.
Our social programme, said the Russian
thinker Fedorov, is the dogma of the Trinity.
Orthodoxy believes most passionately that the
doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not a piece of
'high theology' reserved for the professional
scholar, but something that has a living, practical
importance for every Christian. Man, so
the Bible teaches, is made in the image of God,
and to Christians God means the Trinity: thus
it is only in the light of the dogma of the Trinity
that man can understand who he is and what
God intends him to be. Our private lives, our
personal relations, and all our plans of forming
a Christian society depend upon a right theology
of the Trinity. 'Between the Trinity and
Hell there lies no other choice: As an Anglican
writer has put it: 'In this doctrine is summed
up the new way of thinking about God, in the
power of which the fishermen went out to convert
the Greco-Roman world. It marks a saving
revolution in human thought
