Abstract
Keywords:
The paper deals with an analysis of the relationship between ecclesiastical and political morality from the orthodox Christian perspective. The analysis begins based on the notion, perception and thought that the Church and Politics have about man. This point is important because from the concept of man defines both the political systems and their morality, and the attitude to the salvation of man and the morality that accompanies it. The second element has to do with freedom. Freedom is important for Christian morality, but at the same time it is trumpeted loudly by politics. If for Christian, the morality of true freedom is formed by the transition from heteronomy to autonomy with the faith, hope, and grace of God, for politics freedom is based on human ability and becomes reality through the political system.
Morality, politics, church, person, freedom.
