| Summary: | The essay is devoted to the analysis of the values in relation to church, state, and civic society in Ukraine. It considers that civil values could become unifying, reconciling, and integrating factors for state, society, and church cooperation. The church paradigm as a community does not contradict the model of civil society. It should espouse and advance civic values no less than religious ones. The church must be interested in the development of civil liberty values, pluralism, social and public liability, and personal human dignity. Even that interest, however, can vary according to historical influences. The Intra-Orthodox dialogue in Ukraine constitutes an ecumenical dialogue between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Kyiv Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate as enacted in Ukraine. This dialogue then contributes to a better ecumenical relationship of the Orthodox with other religious communities. |
