ABSTRACT
Morality, intentionality, ultimately identity and by extension behaviour are part of a state’s personhood, and in the case of Greece, its state personhood has been, and mutatis mutandis continues to be, Orthodox. The Committee of Representatives of the Orthodox Churches to the European Union 160 has been another international cooperation platform via which populism has been addressed. As regards nationality, in the immediate post-1991 period the migratory influx clearly came from European countries, while in the of 2001–2011 the emergent pattern was that of immigration from Asia and Africa. As regards its broader worldview and its adaptation to globalisation, population movement and national identity perception, as stated earlier the Orthodox Church of Greece (OCG) has demonstrated clear signs of realism. And even though the OCG cannot put mechanisms in place to support Greek emigrants, as they leave its jurisdiction and enter that of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, it can do so domestically, for returnees, refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers.
