ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Australian indigeneity has invigorated Archbishop Stylianos' personal quest for an ecumenical and integral vision of humanity in an innovative way, this very quest has opened up potentialities and prospects to be explored, rather than worked out a fixed view of humanity. It explores the poems Aborigines' and Visual Australia' are treated as examples of how Archbishop Stylianos conceptualizes the interconnection between people and land, a feature so prominent in indigenous Australian traditions. For his part Archbishop Stylianos is on the one hand inspired by the indigenous Australian coalescence of spatiotemporal instantiations, and on the other he is most likely led to a re-appreciation of Christian eschatology. The dialectics of life, that is, the fact that human life presents itself in a highly paradoxical manner, is one of Archbishop Stylianos' most cherished truths one that enables him to empathize with the indigenous Australian understanding of the human predicament.
