DESCRIPTION
In light of recent developments in Ukraine toward establishing a unified Ukrainian
Orthodox Church, coupled with the ecclesial conflicts between Constantinople and
Moscow, this book’s appearance is very timely. In his presentation, Prof. Denysenko will
provide an overview of the history of Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine from the early
twentieth century to the present.
He will touch upon the dynamics of church and state in
the attempts to restore an authentic Ukrainian religious identity in the contemporary
Orthodox churches, and how these dynamics have played out in the current movement
to overcome the divisions among the three Orthodox Churches in Ukraine.
This book
launch is the second in a series of events looking at Ukrainian Orthodox Christianity and
the question of autocephaly hosted by the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian
Studies; the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies; the Petro Jacyk Program for the
Study of Ukraine; the Center for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies; and the
Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures.
