This article focuses on the complexity of Georgian Church–State relations during the period of transition from communist rule to democracy. It analyses the position of the Orthodox Church of Georgia, a powerful symbol of the Georgian nation, vis-à-vis the newly formed State, the relations between the government and the Orthodox Church of Georgia, and attitudes within Georgian society to the Church–State partnership. Finally, it addresses the influence of the political conflict between the neighbouring states of Russia and Georgia, as reflected in the Georgian Church–State partnership.
