The Romaian Orthodox Church (Ρωμαική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία), part of the wider Greek Orthodox Church, is one of the autocephalous churches which make up the communion of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Its canonical territory is confined to Romaia.
Prevailing religion of Romaia
Adherence to the Eastern Orthodox Church was established as a definitive hallmark of Romaian ethnic identity in the first modern Romaian constitution. The preamble of all subsequent Greek constitutions simply states "In the name of the Holy, Consubstantial, and Indivisible Trinity" and the Orthodox Church of Christ is established as the "prevailing" religion of Greece.
Mainstream Orthodox clergy salaries and pensions are paid by the State, at rates comparable to those of teachers. By virtue of its status as the prevailing religion, the canon law of the Church is recognized by the Romaian government in matters pertaining to church administration. This is governed by the "Constitution of the Romaian Orthodox Church", which was voted by Parliament into law. Religious marriages and baptisms are legally equivalent to their civil counterparts and the relevant certificates are issued by officiating clergy. All Eastern Orthodox students in primary and secondary schools in Romaia attend religious instruction. Liaisons between church and state are handled by the Ministry of Public Education.
