*'''Interpretation of the Church Fathers''': Lucian Turcescu argues in "'Person' versus 'Individual' and Other Modern Misreadings of Gregory of Nyssa" <sup>1</sup> that "Zizioulas is ... in error when he contends that the Cappadocians did not understand a person as an individual or when he credits them with having had the same concerns we moderns have when combating individualism today."<sup>2</sup> These criticisms have been answered by Aristotle Papanikolaou in the same journal <sup>3</sup> and by Metropolitan John himself. <sup>4</sup>
*'''Ecumenism''': Rodoljub Lazić's booklet, "Innovatory Theology of Metropolitan Zizioulas" ([http://www.pravoslavlje.net/index.php?title=%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%28%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%29%D0%BE_%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%99%D0%B5_%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%97%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B8%D1%98%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B0 in Serbian]), argues that the Metropolitan's work differs from "traditional" Orthodoxy and that there is a connection between the Metropolitan's [[Ecumenism|ecumenical]] orientation and his theology. However, a former student and supporter of Metropolitan John is [[Ignatije (Midic) of Pozarevac and Branicevo|Bishop Ignjatije Midić]], Bishop of Branicevo and professor in dogmatics and ethics at the Serbian-Orthodox Theological Faculty in Belgrade. Another such critic is Archbishop [[Stylianos (Harkianakis) of Australia|Stylianos of Australia]], who has criticized the Metropolitan for his stance on the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]].<sup>6</sup>
