RECEPTION OF GRADUATES OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE CHURCH OF THE TOBOLSK DIOCESE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 18TH - THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Abstract

The author considers the issue of employment of graduates of various educational institutions to places of ministry on the example of the Tobolsk diocese - one of the most extensive in the Russian Empire. Information presented in tabular form indicates the necessary level of education required for specific positions. On the basis of a wide range of sources, the procedure for documenting applications from students of seminaries and religious schools for their placement in the church of the Tobolsk diocese is considered. Analysis of archival materials suggests the presence in the second half of the 18th - early 20th centuries an established set of documents required for assigning graduates from various educational institutions to places of ministry. As a result of studying the documents of the Tobolsk Theological Consistory on the admission to the service, the composition of the documentation for the reception of church ministers and clergy was determined. Historically, the issues of documenting labor relations have not been practically studied. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that the Tobolsk Theological Consistory has not yet studied the issue of documentation on the recruitment of graduates of religious schools: it is the first time it is disclosed by the author in a documentary-educational way on the basis of the involved archival sources.
