EKUMENA I ETIKA U POSLOVANJU Darko Mejaški

“Ethics in business” is a phrase often heard, but rarely explored through the lens of a religious community that has, by its very definition, been shaped by dissent and reform. Darko Mejaški, parish priest of the Croatian Old Catholic Church, offers that rare perspective. His church emerged from a refusal to accept new dogma in the 19th century, staking its identity on a return to “old” Catholic principles, which paradoxically means a more modern, adaptive approach today. Mejaški's community has navigated centuries of challenge, from its founding dissent against papal infallibility to persecution during wartime and the communist era. Yet, it has not only survived but is now growing, embracing positions on issues like remarriage that set it apart from larger denominations. This resilience and willingness to adapt, even while rooted in deep tradition, presents a distinct framework for understanding how ethical principles are forged and sustained in any organization facing shifts in its environment. Listening to Mejaški, you'll reconsider how even the most established institutions define themselves, how they respond to societal change, and what it truly means for a community – religious or business – to stay relevant without abandoning its core values. You’ll walk away thinking about the quiet strength of counter-movements and the enduring power of adaptability.
