Orthodox Churches, like most religious bodies, are inherently
political: they seek to defend their core values and must engage in
politics to do so, whether by promoting certain legislation or
seeking to block other legislation. This volume examines the
politics of Orthodox Churches in Southeastern Europe, emphasizing
three key modes of resistance to the influence of (Western) liberal
values: Nationalism (presenting themselves as protectors of the
national being), Conservatism (defending traditional values such as
the "traditional family"), and Intolerance (of both non-Orthodox
faiths and sexual minorities). The chapters in this volume present
case studies of all the Orthodox Churches of the region.
