Beschreibung: This article critically examines the dual role of the Georgian Orthodox Church (GOC) as both a cultural guardian of national identity and a barrier to covenantal pluralism in Georgia. Drawing on legal-financial and comparative-historical analysis, it demonstrates how the GOC’s institutional dominance perpetuates systemic inequalities, including disproportionate state funding, inequitable property restitution, and legal privileges that often marginalize minority religious communities. The article argues that while the Church’s hegemonic position exacerbates religious inequities, its rich theological tradition—particularly concepts such as perichoresis and kenosis—can be leveraged to promote pluralism.
