AB With both the Russian state and the Russian Orthodox Church aiming to increase their influence across Africa, African theologians and church leaders would benefit from learning about the particular sort of church-state relations embraced by these powerful Russian institutions. In particular, matters of religious nationalism loom large, in ways that make the church a wholly subordinated tool of state policy and expansion. African Christians can gain from studying the contemporary Russian case, and seeing in it a cautionary tale relevant to their own debates on more and less adequate relations with state actors.
