CLAW 6012Canon Law3
A study of the holy canons understood as practical expressions of doctrinal truth, and their application in the life of the Church. The administrative structure of the local church will also be examined.
This course aims to survey the concept, canonical foundations, development, and institution of autocephaly in the Orthodox Church through a historical lens from the Nicaean period to today. A primary focus will be placed on critically examining the institution of autocephaly, the manners through which it has been historically proclaimed, and the theories surrounding how it is proclaimed today. Special attention will be given to the creation of the Churches from the 16th-21st centuries including the Churches of Russia, Greece, and Ukraine as well as the case of the OCA.
