Abstract

his paper surveys the historic relationships developed between Church and State in Eastern Europe during the past two millennia, and claims that—in light of their path dependence—the Orthodox Churches can play a positive role within the solidification process of the European Union. Based on ecclesiology, spirituality and historical records, national Orthodox Churches had been consistent assets in the public life; never attempting to eliminate (completely) the secular political power, but always willing to work it. A hiatus is also introduced with regard to the ambivalent relationship between nationalism and Orthodoxy.
