Summary: | The purpose of the study is
to analyze the charity and volunteer activity of the Orthodox clergy
of the Ukrainian parishes of the ROC and to estimate the role of
patriotic clergy in establishing full-fledged community centers, the
revival of national and cultural values of the Ukrainian people. In
particular, the purpose is to consider the charity activity of
representatives of the Ukrainian clergy – figures of national and
spiritual rkevival V. Hrechulevych, M. Orlovsky, S. Baranovsky,
A. Sendulsky and others. Research methods. Methods of
statistical, problem-historical and comparative-historical analysis
are used. Scientific novelty. The article examines the little-known
facts of charity and volunteer activity of the Orthodox clergy,
including establishing Sunday schools, literacy classes, libraries
and reading rooms for children, their parents and adult illiterate
peasants at their own expense. The authorities were dissatisfied
with such activity and the Orthodox clergy was persecuted, as the
authorities did not actually have control over such forms of
education. Conclusions. The representatives of the Ukrainian
parishes of the ROC often went beyond charity and volunteer
activity in their actions, they established centers of free thought,
critical attitude toward spiritual authorities and autocratic
government, and they created the basis for development of
Ukrainian national, cultural and spiritual revival. |
