Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to reveal how the law-making process confronts new problems that arise in the search for pragmatic solutions to state-church relations. The specific case study used is the Denominations Act, adopted by the Bulgarian National Assembly on December 20, 2002, which serves as an example of a meeting ground for secular and religious politics in post-communist Bulgaria.
