The author presents the image of Bishop Edward Kisiel in the light of the documents of the heads of the Bialystok structures of the Security Service, sent to the Home Oi ce. Bishop Kisiel took active part in social af airs, both in the period of the development of the Solidarity trade union, and during the period of the martial law in Poland . His activity had a character of pastoral assistance, not a political action . He called for quiet and prudence, talked about the social discipline and himself disciplined his priests. He treated the increasing crisis with reservation, was afraid of war conl ict and bloodshed. During the martial law period he attempted to help the people interred spiritually and materially. He disapproved of the situation in the country and criticised the ceasing of the social dialogue.
