ORTHODOXY AND GLOBAL PLURALISM

Summary
As scholars become more aware of the importance of religion in world affairs,
several have begun to ask whether specific religious traditions are compatible with the
institutions and values of liberal democracy. With approximately 350 million Orthodox
Christians in the world, and given the great political and economic importance of the
many countries they call home, an understanding of Orthodox Christianity is of importance for a general understanding of the contemporary world. Modernity undermines the
homogeneity that characterizes traditional societies, and it brings about racial, ethnic, and
religious pluralism. To survive effectively in this situation, a religious institution must
develop the capacity to function as a voluntary association. Nothing in its history has
prepared Orthodoxy for such an eventuality, and in all likelihood Russia is the only
country where a traditional relationship of sinfonia has a chance of continuing.
