Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This article, which synthesizes much of the recent research, focuses on the Church in St. Petersburg during the period of rapid urban growth and industrialization (early 20th century), surveying the relationship between the clergy and the urban population, particularly workers. It argues that the capital’s clergy developed a powerful and effective social mission, which found expression in the efforts of Fr. Gapon and other clergy of the city, demonstrating that the Church did not simply seek to uphold the old order, but rather sought to re-make Russian society along Christian lines.
