Welcome to the East-West Church Report.
The Report explores Christian life in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
We focus on:
- church-state, interchurch, and interfaith relations
- emerging threats to the principle of religious freedom for all
- innovative Christian charitable projects and mission
- the latest academic research into Christian history and culture in the region
For more details on our unique approach, please read on about the Report.
Our work speaks for itself. You may browse all but the most recent two years’ issues in our archives or via our search facility.
For a modest fee, 20-page issues are delivered to subscribers as emailed PDFs, currently twice annually.
Publication of each new issue is announced on social media: Please follow us on Facebook and X.
We hope that reading the East-West Church Report brings you closer to Christians in the nations we cover.

“I’ve been reading this periodical on and off for most of its history. In reporting and analysis, a too-unusual combination: CAREFUL and CARING.”
— a Protestant reader
On the Report’s recent coverage of assistance to Ukrainian refugees in Poland:
“Illuminated the complexities (historical and political as well as cultural and psychological) sensitively and concisely. I was not expecting to appreciate the Pentecostal pastor’s contribution, but it was reading that part when I started to cry. I’m better off for having read it.”
— a Catholic reader
On recent issues of the Report covering Christian communities in Ukraine:
“These are so insightful. I had no idea what was really going on. Thank You.”
— an Orthodox reader
