When religious identity surfaces as a key determinant in how the pursuit of rights occurs, both "the religious right" and "liberal" believers remain the focus of how each contributes to making rights demands. How Ortho­dox Christians in North America have navigated the "rights revolution," however, remains largely unknown. From the disagreements over the rights of the First Peoples of Alaska to arguments about the rights of transgender persons, Orthodox Christians have engaged an anglo-American legal and constitutional rights tradition. But they see rights claims through the lens of an inherited focus on the dignity of the human person.In a pluralistic society and culture, Orthodox Christians, both converts and those with family roots in Orthodox countries, share with non-Orthodox fellow citizens the challenge of reconcil­ing conflicting rights claims. Those claims do pit "religious liberty" rights claims against perceived dangers from outside the Orthodox Church. But internal disagreements about the rights of clergy and people within the Church accompany the Orthodox Christian engagement with debates over gender, sex, and marriage as well as expanding political, legal, and human rights claims. Despite their small numbers, North American Orthodox remain highly visible and their struggles influential among the more than 280 million Orthodox worldwide. Orthodox Christians and the Rights Revolu­tion in America offers an historical analysis of this unfolding story. 001492707 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 29, 2023). 001492707 650_6 $$aDroits de l'homme$$xAspect religieux$$xÉglise orthodoxe. 001492707 650_6 $$aOrthodoxes (Église orthodoxe)$$xActivité politique$$zÉtats-Unis. 001492707 650_0 $$aOrthodox Eastern Church members$$xPolitical activity$$zUnited States.$$0(DLC)sh 85095777 001492707 650_0 $$aCivil rights$$xReligious aspects$$xOrthodox Eastern Church.$$vBiography$$vJuvenile literature$$0(DLC)sh2009113954 001492707 650_0 $$aHuman rights$$xReligious aspects$$xOrthodox Eastern Church.$$0(DLC)sh 85023773 001492707 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001492707 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRoeber, A.
