Özet
Fener Patrikhanesinin tarihi kökleri ilk dönem Hristiyan azizlerinden Andreas’a dayandırılmaktadır. İstanbul’un imparator Konstantin tarafından başkent yapılmasıyla başlangıçta küçük bir kilise iken İstanbul Kilisesi (Fener Patrikhanesi), önce bağımsız bir kilise, imparatorluk kilisesi ve daha sonra da Roma Kilisesi ile eşit hale getirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Fener Patrikhanesinin Hristiyan kilise kanunlarına ters düşen bu tasarrufları kiliseler arasındaki huzursuzluğu artırmış ve Hristiyan kiliselerinde kopmaların meydana gelmesine sebebiyet vermiştir. Günümüzde ise Fener Patrikhanesi ekümeniklik iddiasında bulunarak Ortodoks dünyasında lider olma isteğini tarihte olduğu gibi devam ettirme gayretindedir. Fener Patrikhanesi bu iddiasını temellendirmek için Apostolik bir kilise olduğunu ısrarla öne sürmektedir. Burada her şeyden önce ekümeniklik meselesinin Hristiyan kiliselerini ilgilendiren dinsel bir konu olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. İstanbul’un Türk hâkimiyetine geçmesi ile birlikte patrikhane meselesi Türk devletlerini de ilgilendiren bir mesele haline gelmiştir. Günümüzde artık patrikhane ve ekümeniklik meselesi uluslararası bir boyut kazanmış, Türk-Amerikan ve Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği ilişkilerini etkileyen politik bir mesele haline gelmiştir
