Abstract
The image of the Church as a holy city is present in the Scriptures, in the writings of the holy fathers, and in the thoughts of modern Orthodox theologians. If the church is a polis, the unity of the Church must, in some ways, although not exhaustively, be a political unity. In this article, I argue that the Church is a City of God both as a present and as an eschatological reality. First, by seeing the Church as a polis, one can reconfirm that Orthodox unity is a unity in the ecumenical councils, canons, and creeds. Second, by seeing the Church as a polis, one can use the concept of citizenship to understand which behaviours would be considered dishonourable. The concept of citizenship would also provide a new vocabulary to explain the relations between Orthodox Christians, Orthodox Christians who are not in communion with each other, and non-Orthodox Christians.

Title:Cerkvena edinost kot politična edinost : pravoslavni pogled
Abstract:
Podoba Cerkve kot svetega mesta je prisotna v Svetem pismu, besedilih cerkvenih očetov in misli modernih pravoslavnih teologov. Če je Cerkev polis, mora biti njena edinost v nekaterih pogledih – čeprav ne izključno – politična. V prispevku zagovarjamo stališče, da je Cerkev božje mesto tako v sedanji kakor tudi večnostni resničnosti. Prvič, gledati na Cerkev kot na polis lahko potrdi, da je pravoslavna edinost zaobjeta v ekumenskih koncilih, kanonih in veroizpovednih obrazcih. Drugič, gledati na Cerkev kot na polis omogoča uporabo koncepta državljanstva za razumevanje, katera ravnanja so nečastna. Koncept državljanstva bi lahko tudi prispeval k novemu besednjaku za razlago razmerij med pravoslavnimi kristjani, pravoslavnimi kristjani, ki med seboj niso v občestvu, in nepravoslavnimi kristjani.

Keywords:ekleziologija, mesto, polis, državljanstvo, koncili, ustave
