%X This essay discusses the discourse on the public role of religion in Georgia after the collapse of the communist
regime. Particularly, it examines the Georgian Orthodox Church’s contribution to national identity and
new social values and norms. Thus, this essay assesses the role of the Georgian Orthodox Church in public
opinion building despite the fact that democratic and liberal values to some extent conflict with traditional
or/and religious values promoted by the Georgian Orthodox Church.
