With one leader (the patriarch)

186-646: The Lutheran countries of northern Europe. Although the emperor did not wield authority in matters of faith, the government effectively controlled organization, finances and policies of the church. Believing that the government should play an active role in the lives of citizens, Peter expected the church to do the same.

In November 1718, Peter formed an Ecclesiastical College in St. Petersburg, as it

465-476: The church proved too great of a threat to Peter's rule, and he was unwilling to share power. When the conservative Patriarch Adrian died in 1700, Peter left the position unfilled and instead Archbishop Stephen Yavorsky , a supporter of reform, administered the church for roughly twenty years. In 1721 the church officially came under the cloak of the Russian national government with the Spiritual Order, which

589-557: The dwindling power of the church.

Before the creation of the Most Holy Synod, Peter was concerned personally with improvements in the church. He was particularly interested in improving the education of the clerics, since many were illiterate and unable to administer sacraments. At the time Peter established the synod, he also issued the Spiritual Order, mentioned above. One key aspect of this edict

744-441: The state now had authority over issues that had been previously reserved for church authorities. With this power came the ability, in certain situations, for the state to determine clerics for administration in religious positions.

The first two parts regard

Kurbatov, decided to abolish the patriarchal Razryadnyi Prikaz (rank prikaz), which was in charge of civil and military administration, and redirected all matters to the appropriate prikaz, an administrative or judicial office.

Some scholars argue, though, that Peter did not intend to abolish

899-515: Was that it disregarded or denied the divinity of the church and characterized it as a state institution.
