Join the Russia and Eurasia Program at The Fletcher School at Tufts University for a panel discussion on the geopolitical consequences of the recent split between the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox Churches.

The recent split between the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches has been called “the biggest Christian schism since 1054.” Its impact will reverberate far beyond the Orthodox Church, though. This panel will explore the historical, religious, and political context of the split, as well as its effect on the geopolitical landscape, Russia-Ukraine relations and ecumenical dialogue.

Lunch will be served. Attendance is by registration only.

Speakers:

Dr. George Weigel, senior fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center

Dr. George Soroka, lecturer on government, assistant director of undergraduate studies, Harvard University

Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou (moderator), visiting associate professor of conflict resolution; director, Initiative on Religion Law, and Diplomacy, The Fletcher School, Tufts University
