Description
Summary:The history of the Orthodox Church is abundant with examples of the emergence of Local Churches and their "path to the church diptychs." Contemporary church history also provides numerous canonical cases of individual Local Churches striving for independence. Such efforts include those of the Orthodox faithful in the Republic of North Macedonia, who seek church recognition and independence in the organization and governance of their ecclesiastical diocese. The period examined in this article is marked by numerous events and dynamic developments that have significantly influenced the relationship between the Macedonian and Serbian Churches. The content of this article is primarily church-canonically grounded and historically oriented, aiming to elucidate the processes that have shaped the current status of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
