This volume explores the churches of Ukraine and their involvement
in the recent movement for social justice and dignity within the
country. In November of 2013, citizens of Ukraine gathered on
Kyiv's central square (Maidan) to protest against a government that
had reneged on its promise to sign a trade agreement with Europe.
The Euromaidan protest included members of various Christian
churches in Ukraine, who stood together and demanded government
accountability and closer ties with Europe. In response, state
forces massacred over one hundred unarmed civilians. The atrocity
precipitated a rapid sequence of events: the president fled the
country, a provisional government was put in place, and Russia
annexed Crimea and intervened militarily in eastern Ukraine. An
examination of Ukrainian churches' involvement in this protest and
the fall-out that it inspired opens up other questions and
discussions about the churches' identity and role in the country's
culture and its social and political history. Volume contributors
examine Ukrainian churches' historical development and singularity;
their quest for autonomy; their active involvement in identity
formation; their interpretations of the war and its causes; and the
paths they have charted toward peace and unity.
