Human Rights and/in the Orthodox Church
Human Rights and/in the Orthodox Church

Summary/Abstract: In the current context human rights have become a more important topic than ever. Religious affiliation can influence more or less the reception by and position of every individual towards this set of norms and values. In the following material we will try to make a presentation over the Orthodox perspective on human rights. This presentation is quite hard to accomplish given the fact that we are talking about national Orthodox Churches, which have each attempted to clarify their position towards human rights. The general picture is that the Orthodox Church is reluctant towards human rights, but we shall not try in this paper to refute this perspective, but at most to give it a nuance.
