Future Policy

Last year, the anniversary of all Christianity, witnessed a number of significant events caused by a new interest in understanding the problem of the unity of the Christian Church on the turn of the millennium. Due to the confidentiality of Ukraine, some of these events have or will have an immediate impact on Christianity in Ukraine and on the whole Ukrainian society as a whole. Undoubtedly, the main event, or more enlightened in the press, is a new impetus to the unification of the UOC-KP and the UAOC. But we would like to focus on two documents relating to the problem of Christian unity, the emergence of which was almost unnoticed by the wider public. But at the same time, these documents are too important as they outline the future policy of other Christian denominations by two influential Ukrainian christian churches - the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are the "Basic Principles of the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church to the" I ", adopted by the Anniversary Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Concept of the Ecumenical Position of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, adopted by the Synod of the Bishops of the UGCC. It is clear that the theme of the second document is wider, but at the same time, ecumenism, unification is impossible without solving the problem of relations with others, which makes it possible to compare the approaches laid down in the mentioned documents to the building of relations with other Christian confessions.

Modern Russian

The early modern Russian government and Russian Orthodox Church identified as one of their main duties the ransoming of Russian Christians from Muslim Tatar captors. The process of ransoming could be an involved one with negotiations being carried on by different agents and by the potential ransomees themselves. Different amounts of ransom were paid on a sliding scale depending upon the ransomee’s social status, gender, and age. One of our main sources for the justification of this practice was the Stoglav (100 Chapters) Church Council in 1551, which discussed the issue of ransom in some detail. The Law Code (Ulozhenie) of 1649 specifies the conditions and amounts to be paid to redeem captives. Church writers justified the ransoming of Christian captives of the Muslim Tatars by citing Scripture, and they also specified that the government should pay the ransom out of its own treasury.

В данной статье рассматривается порядок поощрения священнослужителей Русской Православной Церкви иерархическими наградами в XIX - начале XX в. Цель исследования - проанализировать процесс установления и механизм развития наградной системы в обозначенный период. Для этого изучаются характеристики каждой из наград, официально установленных императором Павлом I и его последователями. Внимание читателя статьи обращается главным образом на обстоятельства появления отдельной богослужебной награды в практике Русской Православной Церкви и условия награждения ею заслуженных клириков. В качестве наглядного примера рассматриваются выразительные случаи награждения некоторых священнослужителей. Изучение устройства начальной системы богослужебных наград клириков Русской Православной Церкви позволило прийти к выводу, что появившаяся в конце XVIII в. наградная система на протяжении последующего столетия претерпевала различные изменения: дополнялась и структурировалась. За это время в наградной практике появлялись новые и упразднялись старые награды, был выработан междунаградной срок и установлен порядок награждения священников во время богослужения. This publication examines the procedure for encouraging the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church with hierarchical awards in the XIX-early XX centuries. Тhe purpose of the study is to analyze the process of establishing and developing the award system in this period. We study the characteristics of each of the awards officially established by Emperor Paul I and his followers. The reader’s attention is mainly drawn to the circumstances of the appearance a separate liturgical award in the practice of the Russian Orthodox Church and the conditions for awarding it to distinguished clerics. As a clear example, we consider the expressive cases of awarding certain clergy. The study of the initial system of liturgical awards for clerics of the Russian Orthodox Church allowed us to conclude that the award system that appeared at the end of the XVIII century underwent various changes over the next century: it was supplemented and structured. During this time, new awards appeared in the award practice and old awards were abolished, an international award period was developed and the procedure for awarding priests during divine services was established.
