Church and State in Eastern European Modernity.
The emancipation of the Orthodox states in which the population has become aware that they constitute nations that are part of the modern European concept highlights the fact that this characteristic does not coincide with the existence of a Church that collaborates with the State, nor does it refer to a church that is confused with a nation. Historical reality reveals different aspects of this relationship. Therefore, in order to shed light on the relationship between Church and State and how the relationship between them was and remains marked by globalization in the Christian-Orthodox space of Europe, a presentation of how the pre-modern and modern historical periods is necessary they shaped them, engraving two major features: the church-state relationship and the development of the political and religious culture of the respective geographical and historical areas. Therefore, what gives the unity of the relationship between Church and State in the Orthodox world and constitutes the common argument of our research, resides in the common past of Byzantine origin and not in political influences, constitutional values or the provisions of current state laws.
