Abstract
The Orthodox Church has always had a special place in the history of Georgia, although there are some concerns about its role in recent years. This article is a translation from german (Pamela Jawad, Oliver Reisner, Die Nationalisierung der Religion in der Orthodoxen Apostolischen Kirche Georgiens – Begünstigung oder Hindernis im Demokratisierungsprozess?, Religiöse Akteure in Demokratisierungspro zessen Konstruktiv, destruktiv und obstruktiv, Julia Leininger (Hrsg.), Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE), Springer, 2013, 149-190) and analyzes the influence of the Orthodox Church in Georgia. The focus is on the role of the Church after Georgia's independence, what function it was assigned to her, and whether she was able to cope
with the challenges she faced after gaining independence and make a positive contribution to the country's difficult process of development
