What do the splits between the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine and the current Russian-Ukrainian crisis have in common? The author analyzes the documents of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church on reconciliation (1989-2013). The volume discusses how this church comes to terms with the incriminating pages of Ukraine's history and how the past shapes Ukraine's current striving for democratization.
The volume focuses on relations within the Ukrainian churches, Polish-Ukrainian and Russian-Ukrainian relations, coming to terms with the Holocaust and the national context in the official thinking of the church. Furthermore, in this first comprehensive analysis of the Greek Catholic documents, the church texts are placed in the larger context of the theology of reconciliation by Miroslav Volf, Robert Schreiter and John Paul-Lederach.
