Course content
The discipline "Orthodoxy in modern Ukraine" is focused on the study of issues of independence and self-reliance of the Orthodox Church in management, in its missionary, spiritual and educational and social service in the modern Ukrainian state. Each nation in its historical development forms a national church, which is confirmed by the historical experience of Universal Orthodoxy. All autocephalous or autonomous churches gained their independence in the context of independent
political and socio-economic development of states. Ukrainian churches also went through this. But the state of separation of Orthodox churches in Ukraine (OCU and UOC) is extremely unacceptable. This significantly inhibits social development and undermines the authority of Ukraine in the domestic space and on the international arena.
