The text corpus of the Grinkevich Research and Translation Project About the School, which had an active phase in 2014-2019, is considered. The sources of 9 texts are: 2 – the Alaskan Russian Church archive in the Library of Congress, 3 – N. Russel’s brochure, 4 – San Francisco newspapers; the note On the School by N. Grinkevich is supplemented, confirming the facts reported in it, by 2 testimonies of Dr. Russel himself (including the history of the creation of the note), 3 parts dedicated to the school student of Belarusian-Tlingit origin N. Savchenko (letters from his father Demian), 2 newspaper publications revealing Grinkevich’s ambiguous role. The obvious reason for the change in public position of this psalm reader, later a member of the Ecclesiastical Consistory of Alaska in relation to the problems of the church school was the inertial adherence to routine rules and procedures, official subordination and the desire to maintain position, but it was the promulgation of his note by the revolutionaries that probably led to his dismissal, already as an archpriest, from the Diocese of the Aleutians and Alaska.

Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay was created to host the Golden Gate International Exposition, a World’s Fair, in 1939-40. The fair was an expression of an idealized order of both design and international relations. Neither survived much longer than the fair itself. The author considers the creation and re-creation of Treasure Island and the problem of building for an uncertain, ultimately unknowable future. This article is a critical appreciation of Andrew Shanken’s Into the Void Pacific, a design history of the fair.

The Canons of Athanasius, a homiletic work written at the beginning of the fifth century in one of the cities of the Egyptian chora, provide us with many important and detailed pieces of information about the Church hierarchy. Information gleaned from this text can be found in studies devoted to the history of Christianity of the fourth and fifth centuries, but rarely are they the subject of reflection as an autonomous subject. To date, no one has endeavoured to determine how the author of the Canons sought to establish the parameters of his work: why he included certain things in this work, and why left other aspects out despite them being within the boundaries of the subject which he had wished to write upon. This article looks to explore two thematic areas: firstly, what we learn about the hierarchical Church from the Canons, and secondly, what we know about the hierarchical Church from period sources other than the Canons. This article presents new arguments which exclude the authorship of Athanasius and date the creation of the Canons to the first three decades of the fifth century.

The article describes the documents on the architectural and artistic design of the buildings of the Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy and Labor during the rule as prioress of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna Romanova. The search for sources on the creation history of the creation of the architectural complex of the Abode is significantly difficult due to the fact that the Abode fund did not survive as a whole collection in the archives. As part of the work on the reconstruction of the historical and documentary heritage of the Martha and Mary Convent, the author makes an attempt to systematize documents reflecting the history of the construction and arrangement of the Abode on the basis of a historiographic analysis of works devoted to the history of the Abode, published and unpublished sources. The author notes that in recent years, research interest in the history of the Martha and Mary Convent, and, in particular, its architectural ensemble, has noticeably increased, which was caused by the solemn events in honor of the centenary of the Convent’s foundation celebrated in 2009. However, Russian historiography mainly focuses on the study of the architectural and artistic design of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos – an outstanding creation of the Russian architect A.V. Shchusev. The presented review of archival documents supplements the already known information about the entire complex of buildings of the Martha and Mary Convent and gives an idea of the information potential of the Moscow archives on the topic presented.

Abstract. The situation of the Reformed elementary schools in the Reformed Diocese of Komárom in the 1920s–1930s. The present study provides an insight into the history of the Reformed church schools of the Reformed Diocese of Komárom in the territory of Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. Following geopolitical changes after 1920, the church school network had to be reorganized, which posed completely new challenges to the minority Reformed Church. Subsequent to presentation of the major school laws, the development of the diocesan school network is discussed. After the reorganization, teachers had to face a lot of grievances from state officials, which had a direct and indirect impact on both teachers and the educational policy of the Reformed Church. After outlining the problems of textbooks for use in schools, the diocesan schooling of the two decades under review is summarized.

AbstractThe Union Ibo Bible was more or less the Bible for the Igbo people of southern Nigeria from 1909 to 1970. The creation of Thomas Dennis of the Church Missionary Society and his co-workers, it has been, since its first conception in 1905, a source of ongoing controversy: the development and unification of the Igbo language was at stake. This article re-examines the history of this Bible, its conception, translation and early reception, and argues that the source of its shortcomings lies deeper than the method of translation or the contemporary Igbo desire to learn English. The Union Bible is the product of the missionary conception, fleshed out by a comparison with the Yoruba, of a single Igbo people speaking a single language. The failure of that translation is the result of the premise consequent to this conception of the Igbo, namely that the Igbo language was ready to be 'united'.

The article analyzes the major milestones in history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. The main attention is pay to the first century of colonial state of the Church, from the time when the Kyiv Metropolitanate was subordinated to the Moscow Patriarchate in 1686 until the act of secularization of church lands in 1786. During that time the Ukrainian church elite defended her rights and interests in the conditions of Russian centralism. In particular, the attempts of higher clergy to preserve the traditional canonical jurisdiction of Church in Constantinople patriarchy as so as the actions of elite in protecting the interests of church institutions in the conditions of subordination to the Moscow Patriarchate (1686-1720) and advocacy of legal rights and property of the Orthodox Church in Synodal period (1721-1786) are considered in the abstract form. It is concluded that the century in Ukrainian history since the subordination of the Kyiv Metropolitanate of Moscow Patriarchate in 1686 to the act of secularization of church lands in 1786 marked the opposition of the Ukrainian ecclesiastical elite to Russian centralism and the attempt to defend traditional rights and interests of the Orthodox Church in various forms. The success of the struggle of the Ukrainian church elite for its rights directly depended on the interests and tastes of the Russian ruling circles, as well as on the support of the secular elite and the heads of the Hetmanate. It is noted that since the independence of Ukraine, a negotiation process between the three branches of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine - the UOC-MP, the UOC-KP, and the UAOC, has begun which was held with varying success. The lack of effective agreements on the creation of a single Ukrainian Local Orthodox Church was associated with different views of each of the parties of the principles of the unification process and their different understanding of canonicality. The significance of the agreement reached by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on the provision by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine Tomos of autocephaly and the creation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Local Church are stressed. This will begin a new stage in the history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine - a return to free development of the Stavropig of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

The Creation

This article is a history of the creation of the Naval Science class within the Library of Congress Classification System (LCCS) during that system’s fashioning and development at the turn of the twentieth century. Previous work on the history of classification and especially of the LCCS has looked closely at the mechanics of the creation of such systems and at ideological influences on classification schemes. Prior scholarship has neglected the means by which ideologies are encoded into classification systems, however. The present article examines the history of a single class by looking at the ideological and political assumptions behind that class and the means by which these assumptions were written into the LCCS. Specifically, we argue that the Naval Science class resulted from a concerted effort by naval theorists to raise their field to the status of a science, the interest of Washington’s political class in this new science as a justification for imperial expansion, and a publishing boom in naval matters as the American public became eager consumers of such work during the Spanish-American War. This complex narrative thus illustrates the manifold influences on the creation of any classification system and asks us to consider that multiplicity of influences, whether we as librarians teach about existing systems or work to build new ones.

The Way

There is a marked difference between the history of the Church of Ireland in the sixteenth century and in the early seventeenth century. The historian of the early Reformation in Ireland has to deal with shifting religious divides and, in the Church of Ireland, with a complex and ambiguous religious entity, established but not necessarily Protestant, culturally unsure, politically weak, and theologically unselfconscious. By contrast, the first part of the seventeenth century is marked by the creation of a distinct Protestant church, clearly distinguished in structural, racial, theological and political terms from its Roman Catholic counterpart. The history of the Church of Ireland in the first four decades of the seventeenth century is therefore primarily about the creation of this church and the way in which its new structures and exclusive identity were shaped.

The occasion of this article is the appearance of V. Norskov Olsen's John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church (Berkeley, San Francisco and London: University of California Press, 1973, xi + 264 pages, $11.50). Gleanings from numerous other volumes dealing with Foxe, and from editions of his works, will also be reflected in this treatment. Professor Olsen has closely studied Foxe both as an author and as a churchman moving in the ecclesiastical environment of the Tudor era. His book, however, offers neither a biography of Foxe nor an account of the Elizabethan church. Instead it sheds light on numerous incidents in which Foxe played some part in the history of the church, and clarifies his relation to Puritanism and the establishment. The most distinct impression left in the reader's mind is that of the personality of Foxe as Olsen sees him, namely, a man of widely varied interests and talents but of unified purpose, an irenic spirit amid contending forces, playing a minor role in public while laboriously engaged in the research and writing that brought him lasting fame and influence. One paragraph seems to cry out for repetition here:
