Gavrilyuk subsequently found the corresponding letters from Florovsky to Schmemann among the papers of Fr. Schmemann held at St. Vladimir’s Seminary. The result, published in Eng- lish translation in this volume, is the correspondence of two giants of the Paris school of Orthodox theology transplanted to the United States, and thus “a window on the relations between two theological schools: the St. Sergius Institute and St. Vladimir’s Seminary” (17).
