metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Recent scholarship has significantly enhanced our knowledge of the Russian Orthodox
  Church in 1917, including the role of diocesan congresses of clergy and laity (eparkhial’nye
  s”ezdy dukhovenstva i mirian) in the first months after the February Revolution. As yet,
  however, it has been given relatively little attention to the prehistory of the congresses that
  were established by the seminary reform of 1867. This study seeks to fill that gap and suggests
  the following theses. First, in the period from their establishment in 1867 to the revolution
  of 1905–1907, the congresses had a very uneven history, but essentially failed to expand their
  competence and composition, especially under the chief procurator K. P. Pobedonostsev.
  Second, in the 1905–1907 revolution, many congresses proved highly progressive, endorsing
  the “liberation movement” and demanding far-reaching reform in the Church. Some
  supported empowerment of the parish (control over parish finances, even the right to choose
  local clergy). Third, support for empowerment of the laity declined after 1905, largely in
  response to the growing assertiveness of the laity. In the spring of 1916, most had become
  openly skeptical of parish reform and empowerment of the laity.
