Russian Orthodox Church In Uzbekistan
From Handwiki The Russian Orthodox Church in Uzbekistan is the main community of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Uzbekistan, a mainly Muslim country. Many of its members are Russians. Uzbekistan falls within the area of Tashkent and Central Asian Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Eparchy is headed by a Metropolitan. Since 2011, the current Metropolitan of Tashkent and Central Asia is Vincent (Morar).[1][2]
Russian Orthodox Church in Uzbekistan has been established in 1871 and extends to Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.[3][4] The Russian Orthodox Church has a better standing with the government than other religious groups do.[5] The constitution establishes a secular framework to separate church and state.[5]
Government figures in 2020 suggested that 2.2% of the population of Uzbekistan are Orthodox Christians, most of whom are ethnic Russians.[5]
