DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES IN EFFORTS TO FORM AUTOCEPHALOUS CHURCHES IN NORTHERN MACEDONIA AND MONTENEGRO

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the efforts to form autocephalous churches in two countries: Northern Macedonia and Montenegro. The Orthodox population that lives in these two countries belongs to the Serbian Orthodox Church. Regardless, there are ongoing demands in these countries for the formation of autocephalous churches. In the Republic of Macedonia, now called the state of Northern Macedonia, as one of the six republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the autocephaly of the Macedonian Orthodox Church was uncanonically declared in 1967. In Montenegro, which along with Serbia constituted the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, in 1993 an organization called the Montenegrin Orthodox Church was formed. A movement for the church’s autocephaly has existed for decades. Hence, we have examined the differences and similarities in the process in the two countries.
