Abstracts

EN

Sovetovanie o blagočesti (Совѣтованіе о благочестіи) is an anonymous text preserved in the archive of Lutsk Brotherhood of the Elevation of the Cross. It includes an internal renewal programme of the Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which supposed to guarantee continuity of Orthodox hierarchy, restored during 1620–1621 by the Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophanes. Most scholars have treated the document as the collection of decisions of the local council deliberated in Kyiv under the chairmanship of Metropolitan Job Boretsky and was treated as an effect of the activity of new bishops. However, there are no historical sources confirming that such council actually took place. What is more, the document itself does not look like council’s resolutions. This is rather a list of recommendations and postulates prepared by believers, probably representatives of Lutsk Brotherhood. The document points out that on the one hand bishops are necessary for the normal functioning of the Church, on the other hand, puts forward a list of demands to them and emphasizes an important role of the laity.
