Abstract

The process of organizing missionary services in a newly formed diocese is aimed at achieving two interrelated goals discussed in this article. On the one hand, the creation of full-fledged diocesan structures, including the diocesan missionary department, and their effective functioning are the most important factors in the development of church life in the newly formed diocese. On the other hand, the very creation of a new diocese is a missionary event in itself, any newly formed diocese is missionary, which requires a high degree of responsibility in the organization of missionary services. Based on the author's developments carried out within the framework of the activities of the synodal missionary department of the Russian Orthodox Church, a program is proposed for creating a missionary infrastructure in the newly formed diocese. These recommendations are based on the principles and methods of missionary activity, reflected in the general church normative documents regulating missionary service. The concretization of these normative guidelines should be carried out on the basis of an analysis of empirical data characterizing the state of the addressee of the mission in the newly formed diocese.
