Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present article is to present the existing possibilities for the employment of the clergy by church institutions, that is, by the so-called church employers. The first part of the study depicts the situation in this regard from the end of World War II till the turn of 1989/1990. During that period, the position of public authorities clashed with that of church authorities, and the former treated the issue of the employment of the clergy in an instrumental manner, in a similar way to their social insurance and taxation. The discussion presented in this part is based on legal acts and archival documents which illustrate the way in which the law was understood and applied at the time. After 1989, the socio-economic context has undergone major changes. There are no formal obstacles for church entities to employ the clergy in employment relationships. The choice of the type of employment rests with clergymen and their employers, and the second part of the study aims to present the existing alternatives and discuss the benefits and risks/challenges associated with the current situation.
