статье анализируетcя процесс трансформации духовных семинарий в эпоху Великих реформ Александра II как механизм социальной мобильности. Изучаются возможности детей духовенства получать образование в светских учебных заведениях. В ходе Великих реформ социальный статус приходского священника становится непривлекательным, растет престижность труда интеллигенции и потребность в инженерах, врачах, учителях. Анализ уставов духовных семинарий и университета показал, что политика правительства по данному вопросу менялась неоднократно и власть по причине недостатка лиц, желающих занять священнослужительские места, сдерживала процесс выхода детей духовенства из сословия. На основе анализа материалов отчетов различного уровня автор приходит к выводу, что, несмотря на попытки власти удержать воспитанников духовных семинарий в рамках духовного сословия, выход из семинарий не прекратился. В то же время необходимого притока из других сословий воспитанников в духовные семинарии не происходило. Насильственное насаждение монастырских порядков, согласно приведенным в статье документам, вызвало протест со стороны воспитанников и использовалось революционными силами. В начале ХХ века семинаристы в качестве одного из требований выдвигали право поступать в университеты без экзаменов, расширить курс светских дисциплин. Однако осуществление социальной мобильности семинаристов в другие социальные слои, как показало наше исследование, было невозможно без комплексного решения экономических проблем России, а также необходимости повышения социального статуса духовенства. The article analyzes the transformation of ecclesiastical seminaries against the background of Alexander II’s Great Reforms as a mechanism of social mobility. It investigates whether clergy children had opportunities to receive secular education. The Great Reforms witnessed a deterioration of parish priests’ social status and an improvement in the social status and prestige of engineers, doctors, teachers and other representatives of the Russian intelligentsia. The analysis of charters of ecclesiastical seminaries shows that the government used different policies to influence the situation. Facing the scarcity of novice priests, the government employed suppression mechanisms to hinder the transition of clergy children to other social strata. The analysis of various reports and other documents enables the author to conclude that despite desperate attempts to hinder the transition of clergy children to other social strata, the government failed to persuade clergy children to study in seminaries. People from other social strata did not enter seminaries either. The enforcement of claustral rules resulted in students’ protests, which were embraced by revolutionary forces. In the early 20th century, seminarists demanded that they should be given more secular subjects and that they should be granted an opportunity to enter a university of their choice without entrance examinations. However, according to the research, seminarists’ social mobility was unfeasible without a complex solution of economic problems and the improvement of the social status of clergy.

This study examines the family and social expectations of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) clergy children, their mental and emotional health concerns, and the relationship between expectations and emotional health. The study used data triangulation from an online survey (N=120) and four focus groups to answer the research questions. The greatest source of concern came from clergy children’s perceptions about was how the people in their parent’s congregation thought they should behave. In addition, results show that the majority of the respondents expressed some level of concern about anxiety/depression or their emotional health. The findings reveal a statistically significant relationship between the expectations that clergy children recalled and the mental and emotional concerns they experienced. Clergy children expected to attend more church services, reported more concerns about their mental and emotional health. These findings provide a call to action for Christian social workers, particularly those engaged in congregational social work.

This article examines the experiences of faife’au ‘kids’ (clergy children) of the Samoan Congregational Christian Church denomination in New Zealand. The paper investigates the effects the indigenous concept of feagaiga (covenant) has on faife’au kids (FKs) parsonage experiences. Additionally, the Eurocentric concept of ‘tagata’ese’ (stranger) is also investigated. As part of a master’s research study, Talanoa sessions were conducted with eight FKs of the Congregational denomination in New Zealand. Participants were mainly from the Wellington and Auckland regions.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Stressors of Clergy Children and Couples Scale, an abbreviated version of the Stressors of Clergy Children Inventory. The current self-report survey was tested using 317 ministers' family members across several denominations. Tests for internal consistency reliability and construct validity indicated this scale was adequate for use in research. Recommendations for refinement and use of the scale were presented.
