Abstract
This memoir gives an account of how twentieth-century Orthodox émigrés from Russia encountered non-Orthodox Christians in the Christian West in which they settled and what they received from this encounter. Although the links in France between Russian theologians and their Catholic, Calvinist and Lutheran counterparts are not omitted, the author makes particular reference to the Fellowship of Saint Alban and Saint Sergius, an expression of the close and lasting contact which developed between Anglican and Orthodox theologians, and to Sergius Bulgakov and Nicolas Zernov, influential in its founding (1928), and Georges Florovsky and Vladimir Lossky, who exercised a patristic theological influence after the second world war.
