This book portrays the changing fortunes of the Polish Orthodox Church as it responds to the different Polish governments. Simultaneously, it illuminates the complex relationship among the state, the Orthodox and rival Roman Catholic faiths, and the Slavic minorities (chiefly Ukrainian and Belarusan) who are the primary adherents of Orthodoxy.
The Polish Orthodox Church in the Twentieth Century and Beyond: Prisoner of History shows the adaptability of an Orthodox community whose members are a religious and ethnic minority in a predominantly Roman Catholic country populated by ethnic Poles. It features a triangular relationship among the Orthodox and Catholic hierarchies and the secular state of Poland throughout the changes of government. A secondary interrelationship involves the tense relationship between ethnic Poles on one hand, and minority Ukrainians and Belarusans on the other. As a “prisoner” of its own history and strangers in its own land, the Polish Orthodox Church faces a constant struggle for survival.
