Summary/Abstract: The authors point on the fact that the relationship of church and state authorities in the Republic of Serbia, in the last decades, especially since the beginning of the 21st century, has changed significantly in favor of their mutual cooperation, understanding and help. The church, today, became aware of its role, so there was a change in its mentality and position in the society. Namely, from a static understanding of the order of reality, she has switched to evolutionary and dynamic understanding. In this way, the church wants to continue the work of Jesus Christ i.e. that by humanizing the world, save humanity. Therefore, we can be freely said that the church is, by its nature, responsible for helping build a humanism and mutual understanding between people, as and between church and the state, because man is not an abstract being, which exists outside the world.
