Abstract
This article describes Vladimir Solovyov’s spiritual development from the perspective of his views on relations among Christian churches. The text reflects his search for spiritual nature of the world and universal religion, which would roof Christianity. Due to his visions, Solovyov returns from his early tendency to syncretism to Orthodoxy. His meeting with Bishop Strossmyer opened his mind to the importance of the role of the Catholic Church and the papacy considered critically until then. From this moment Solovjov´s Christian identity was open, so that he became a prophet of the ecumenical movement in the 20th century.
