AB  - Examines Russian Orthodoxy, focusing on its historical background,
religious ethos, institutionalization and dogmatic affirmation.
Evaluates the record of the Russian Church during the Communist period
and speculates about its future. Cites the limitations of Russian
Orthodoxy in performing the “priestly” and
“prophetic” functions. Finally, given the similarities of
Russian Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, recommends “Uniate
option” for the contemporary Russian Church. Suggests that such an
option would strengthen Russian Orthodoxy and compensate for those
factors that made it so ineffective during the Marxist‐Leninist period.
