| | The Serbian Orthodox Church Vis-a-Vis Ecumenism |
| | The church is One and Catholic, and in it is all Truth, all Grace, and all that that the Lord brought with Him to the earth and gave to the people, and left among them for their salvation. | | | The question of ecumenism and the attitude of the Serbian Orthodox Church toward it, as well as the question of the membership of the S.O.C. in the World Council of Churches, was also a frequent topic of discussion in those years at the Holy Assembly of Bishops. | | | That a inter-church dialogue be initiated in the Serbian Orthodox Church regarding all contested issues of spiritual life and theology, because it is the lack of well-intentioned dialogue that leads to internal divisions among the people into followers of various liturgical, theological and pastoral schools, some of which introduce innovations foreign to the Holy Tradition. |

| | Vernacularity: The Politics of Language and Style |
| | Linguistic conservatives, with the hierarchies of the Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches at their head, forcefully opposed these reforms, leading to protracted 'language wars' between the supporters of Church Slavonic and the vernacular. | | | Cyril and Methodius in the late ninth century, Church Slavonic (known in its earliest form as Old Church Slavonic) functioned as the language of ecclesiastical and literary culture for most of the Eastern Orthodox and Greek Catholic peoples of East Central Europe, functioning much as did Latin in the medieval West. | | | As the language of the Eastern liturgy, of the Bible, and of long disappeared medieval kingdoms, Church Slavonic was seen as a natural marker of confessional loyalty and a sign of the historic greatness of Serbian, Romanian, and Ruthenian culture. |

| | The Symbolism of Destruction |
| | The Serbs are Orthodox Christians; the Croats, Roman Catholics; Bosnians and the majority of Kosovar Albanians, Muslims. | | | While medieval churches and monasteries testify to a Serbian state so ancient that neither Serbs nor Albanians now alive can remember it, the Church of the Holy Savior was from its inception intended to be the symbol of the Serb state under Slobodan Milosevic. | | | This pattern was started in Croatia in 1991: Serbs blasted the Croats' Catholic churches from afar, showing off their supremacy with artillery and tanks; the Croats, in turn, were coldly efficient, reducing Serb Orthodox churches to piles of rubble by demolition charges at night. |
