José Casanova, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Theology and Religious Studies, and Senior Fellow, Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, Georgetown University

Abstract

The canonical legitimation of the newly constituted Orthodox Church of Ukraine has solidified the pattern of religious pluralism in Ukraine for the foreseeable future. There are now three competing "national" churches, equally headed by a Metropolitan Archbishop of Kyiv and All-Ukraine, with divergent transnational allegiances to the Pope (First Rome), to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (Second Rome), and to the Moscow Patriarchate (Third Rome). The lecture will draw on some of the consequences for church-state, nation, and civil society relations and for a pattern of religious pluralism that includes non-Eastern Christian and non-Christian denominations.
