La territorialité de l’Église orthodoxe en France, entre exclusivisme juridictionnel et catholicité locale

Following migration movements due to the major geopolitical changes of the 20th century, orthodoxy in France is far from being a homogenous cultural ensemble. The existence of multiple jurisdictions based on national origin, the Church of canonical attachment and the particular identity of every community creates a reality that determines the territorial organisation of orthodoxy in the « Diaspora », especially since this type of structure reflects both a certain balance of power between Churches and an antagonism between different national understandings of Orthodoxy. And yet, according to the Orthodox ecclesiology, territory, along with its cultural diversity, should not be a factor of division but rather a unifying principle.
