    1. This PhD thesis is focused on the value of Christian orthodox view for the environmental education. According to the writer, Athanasios Botas,  the ecological crisis and its consequences are incorporated in the wider crisis of economical, political and educational systems, by referring to the religious meditation and its relations with the ecological consciousness, sensitization, activation, deontology and moral. This perception, deriving from Orthodoxy editions, shows the contemporary theological questioning environment. However, this reveals opportune dimensions of the Religious Education that may function as issue, material and mean of research of Environmental Educational Programs.

       As a conclusion, the examination of the suggestion deposited by the orthodox church for the actions of the environmental education is operating through the comparison of aims, goals, principles and practices, the research of convergences and the conflicts between the Environmental Education, as an innovative learning procedure, and the Religious Education concerning the adopted methods of teaching in the modern school.
