Georgia, Church of. The preaching of a Christian slave-woman from Cappadocia led to the conversion of the Iberian royal house
c.350, and so to the adoption of Christianity as the religion of the country. At first dependent on the Patriarchate of
Antioch, the Georgian Church became
autocephalous in the 8th cent. In 1811 it was absorbed by the Church of
Russia; it regained its autocephalous status in 1917, though it was not recognized by the Soviet authorities or the Russian Church until 1943. It was a focus of nationalist opposition and suffered severe persecution, but since 1977 there has been a revival.
