In the Republic of Poland, the Uniate clergy was perceived as second-class in comparison to the Latin one. Contrary to expectations, the hierarchy was not made equal to the Roman Catholic clergy. A disastrous economic situation of the non-Latin priests resulted in their low level of education and, what is more, being disrespected. This applied to even well educated and well off Basilians. In the history of the union, the relationships between the clergy of both rites were varied, more ambitious in the case of hierarchy and simpler on the level of parish priesthood. As regards church dignitaries of both rites, the situation became more complicated after the partition of Poland, when the Russian authorities appointed a church board in Petersburg also for the Uniates. The conflicts were caused by imposing Latin control over Uniate matters and converting the Uniates into Roman Catholicism. The situation changed after 1805, when the department board for the Uniate matters was established. From then on, as the reconstitution of Orthodoxy was becoming more obvious, the relationship between the hierarchs of both rites was slackened. However, those between the strongly Latinized and Polonized (cooperating at the parish level) Uniates and Latin clergies in the 1830s were becoming more difficult. In 1835, the conversion into the Latin rite and providing mutual pastoral services were forbidden. The conflicts at the parish level concerned conversions of Greek Catholics and the division of a tithe (the tithe paid by the Uniates was often taken over by the Latin clergy). These conflicts escalated in 1828 when the Senate issued a ruling demanding a return of the tithe to the non-Latin priests. Its implementation was not easy, especially in the Bialystok borderland district. Consequently, special clerical and religious commissions were appointed that separated the tithe for the churches in Siemiatycze and Żurobice. Long-lasting disciplinary proceedings were conducted in the case of the Uniate church in Żerczyce, Mielnik, Ciechanowiec, Brańsk, Boćki and Drohiczyn in the Bielsk district and in Kuźnica in the Białystok district.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie działalności Jana Lewiarza jako organizatora i odnowiciela Cerkwi prawosławnej w południowo-wschodniej Polsce. Nie wiadomo, czy faktycznie przyjął święcenia kapłańskie, mimo to stał się jedną z najważniejszych osób w Kościele prawosławnym w Polsce. Jego aktywność – połączona ze ścisłą współpracą z władzami państwowymi – doprowadziła do przejmowania wielu pounickich majątków, w tym świątyń, które stały się podstawą do tworzenia nowych parafii prawosławnych w południowo-wschodniej Polsce.

The purpose of the article is to present the activities of Jan Lewiarz as the organiser and restorer of the Orthodox Church in south-eastern Poland. There are several versions of the biography of Jan Lewiarz, which do not make it possible to say whether he actually was ordained a priest. However, he became one of the most important people in the Orthodox Church in Poland. His activity, joined with close cooperation with state authorities, led to the taking over of many properties and temples which belonged to the Greek Orthodox Church. Many of them became the basis for the creation of new Orthodox parishes in south-eastern Poland.

Conversions to Christianity in Iran before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, being an evident result of the missionary activity conducted in this area from the 19th century, could be studied as part of the history of Christianity among Iranians. Conversions to Christianity, rather rare in the period analysed, are connected to the social and political changes in the whole country. There are two moments which seem to have given the best opportunity for spreading Christianity among Iranian people: 1) the political transformation starting in the 1920s – the end of the Qajar dynasty and the beginning of the reign of Reza Pahlavi, before he started to implement his national policy and 2) the 1960s – the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Among all Christian churches existing in Iran at that time, only the Anglican Church was focused mainly on proselytising and turning Iranian Muslims, Jews or Zoroastrians to the Christian faith. However, the statistics indicate that, in spite of such activity, the total number of converts prior to the revolution did not exceed 1000.
