Description
In its Constitution for Europe the European Union promises to guarantee religious freedom and non-discrimination, to respect religious diversity and to maintain a dialogue with churches, religious communities and non-confessional organisations. At the same time the Union will respect the status of these churches and organisations under Member States law. The European Union has become aware of the importance of religion. The Union draws inspiration from the religious inheritance of Europe. With the accession of several new Member States to the European Union, the Union is enriched by new experiences and different needs concerning religion. This is reflected in the progressive development of the civil ecclesiastical law of Member States. The second edition of this book responds to these developments. It gives an account of the civil ecclesiastical law in all the Member States and in the European Union itself. The contributions follow a similar structure in order to facilitate the comparison between the various systems. The volume has been produced within the context of the European Consortium for State-Church-Research and has also been published in German [2. edition 2005], French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek [2. edition 2007] and Polish.
