Abstract:
The article analyzes the reader’s interests of students of theological seminaries of the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. Libraries were a mandatory element of the functioning of theological seminaries. Memoirs of the seminarians provided the background for the present article. The author analyzes the state policy on formation of the ideological education of children of the clergy. The article describes the content of the libraries of theological seminaries and the mechanisms for their replenishment. The study is aimed to demonstrate that the library collections did not meet the interests of seminarians, and the reading circle of young people was being influenced by the social rise in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. Revolutionary populists were greatly affecting the reader’s interests. The students of seminaries were willing to read the works of leading authors of that time: H.T. Buckle, H. Spencer, N.K. Mikhaylovsky, N.G. Chernyshevsky, D.I. Pisarev. An analysis of archival documents demonstrates that the government attempted to monitor what students read in theological seminaries. Books of the leading authors were banned and withdrawn. The seminarians sought to create their own reading circle. Therefore, many students made attempts to visit city libraries, to take books from friends and acquaintances, to create their own secret collections.The article reveals the history of secret libraries in Kostroma and Vladimir. The study helps to understand that the authors of the memoirs shared their reader’s interests in order to show the impact of reading books by progressive authors. Most of the memoirs’ authors claimed that the interest in the clandestine circles had been caused by a desire to diversify the monotonous daily life in seminaries. Seminarians read forbidden literature because of their interest in current problems of Russia and society.

Abstract:
The formation of students of higher theological seminaries embraces different problems. It is no possible to skip the mass-media problem in the seminarformation. The present research undertakes the problem of the seminar-formation in relation to using media in the mission of the Church, which are propositions of law and church-teaching in this field. Detailed norms of the education of seminarists bear upon three levels: first embraces the formation of seminarists as receivers, the next stage possesses the pastoral dimension, and the third (specialistic) is directed to those who will committing their future working on the field of media or will be lecturers in this sphere. The study of the documents of the church, instructions and propositions of law, confirms the urgent need of formation of the seminarists of theological seminaries, in the area of instruments of social communication. In the preparation of seminarists, one cannot only bring the separate lecture on the subject massmedia. Necessary is the general philosophical reference, and the theological formation to the present problems of social communication. In the present evangelization one ought to use mass-media. One ought today to ask after this, as to using instruments of social communication, which forms of the communication and which technologies are most useful in the concrete realization of the mission of the Church. One future priest, the conscious and critical receiver, should be a partner in the dialogue in the subject of present forms of the communication.

Abstract:
The emergence of Baptist seminaries in Ukraine was influenced by Western churches or missions and in some cases by the Ukrainian diaspora, which had lived outside Ukraine for a long time. The decisive influence was exerted by representatives of churches, educational institutions and Christian universities in the United States. Seminaries went through a number of stages of their own development, during which the forms of collective leadership changed. The first stage is the emergence of seminaries and the harmonization of seminars to unified standards. In the first stage, immediately after the seminary was established, they had very friendly relations with local churches, the programs were very flexible and responded to the needs of the churches. Church leaders saw these initiatives as part of church ministry. The second stage is the extensive development of seminaries, by which the author means the involvement of additional resources in the work of seminaries and the growth of seminaries, associated with the number of students, and for some seminaries - the opening of branches or field programs. This type of growth was also due to the fact that seminaries began to become more independent of national churches, and partnerships with Western organizations became more formalized, which was most often seen in the participation of Western partners in the board of trustees. The third period is a reassessment of the work of seminaries. The beginning of this period is largely related to the global economic crisis of 2007-2008, and its result was the resumption of dialogue between seminaries and churches. The fourth period - institutional changes - is associated with the reaction of the Ukrainian state to the Bologna process and the adoption of the new Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education". The process of preparation for state accreditation and formation of a culture of openness in the national educational environment has begun.

Abstract:
Abstract: This research is based on the thought of a saint, St. Benedict, contained in a rule made in the context of monastery, the Rule of St. Benedict. This rule has shaped the spiritual life of God's people for dozens of centuries. The strong emphasis on the balance of ora et labora, prayer and work, made this pattern relevant till date. This rule is also used as an approach to the forming of the patterns of spiritual formation in seminaries. Theological education is closely related to the growth of God's people. Thus, seminary as one model of theological education needs to have a good pattern related to the spiritual formation of everyone in it. The condition of seminaries in the present era with a tendency to show more attention to academic formation than to spiritual formation can cause imbalance in the life of seminarians. The Rule of St. Benedict can be a reference model so that seminaries can carry out a balanced theological education process to ensure that the academic quality exists as a part of the wholistic spiritual life. Keywords: ora et labora, seminary, spiritual formation, the Rule of St. Benedict. Abstrak: Penelitian ini didasarkan oleh pemikiran seorang kudus, St. Benediktus yang tertuang dalam sebuah aturan yang dibuat dalam konteks biara, the Rule of St. Benedict. Aturan ini telah membentuk kehidupan spiritual umat Tuhan selama belasan abad. Penekanan yang kuat pada keseimbangan ora et labora, berdoa dan bekerja, membuat pola ini dapat digunakan hingga saat ini. Aturan ini juga digunakan sebagai pendekatan untuk membentuk pola formasi spiritual di seminari. Pendidikan teologi memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan pertumbuhan umat Tuhan. Dengan demikian, seminari sebagai salah satu model dari pendidikan teologi perlu memiliki sebuah pola yang baik terkait dengan formasi spiritual setiap orang di dalamnya. Kondisi seminari pada masa kini yang menunjukkan kecenderungan perhatian pada formasi akademik daripada formasi spiritual dapat mengakibatkan ketidakseimbangan dalam kehidupan para seminaris. The Rule of St. Benedict dapat menjadi sebuah model acuan agar seminari dapat menjalankan proses pendidikan teologi secara seimbang guna memastikan bahwa kualitas akademik hadir sebagai bagian dalam kehidupan spiritual secara holistik. Kata-kata kunci: ora et labora, seminari, formasi spiritual, The Rule of St. Benedict.

Abstract:
The article investigates the historical ties of Subcarpathian Rus with one of the theological institutions in the Balkans - the St. John the Theologian seminary in Bitola. The deficient educational level of the Orthodox clergy in the early 1920s is characterized. The network of Orthodox seminaries in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes during this period is shown. Based on the documents of Serbian and Ukrainian archives, the stages of attracting students from Subcarpathian Rus to study in the Kingdom's secondary and higher spiritual and theological institutions are clarified. The role of the bishops-delegates of the Serbian Orthodox Church, who served the most for the departure of entrants to study in Macedonia, is assessed. For the first time in historiography, the names of the Transcarpathians who graduated from the seminary and were ordained as priests were established. The article also mentions other seminarians who were expelled for failure or transferred to other educational institutions. The article describes the seminary's curriculum, extracurricular activities, incentives system, and students' leisure time. The annual reports of the seminary also provide an opportunity to trace the way of reforming the educational institution's curriculum, increasing and decreasing the number of hours in certain subjects. The author concludes that Bitola Theological Seminary trained about 30 priests for Subcarpathian Rus and was among the most popular and respected in the region. The Orthodox clergy who graduated from the studios in Macedonia were highly educated and able to unite the faithful in the parishes. On this basis, the diocesan hierarchs entrusted the "Bitolians" with large parishes or problematic parishes where it was necessary to normalize the situation. The conclusions outline the prospects for further research.

Abstract:
In the contested spiritual economy of the early nineteenth century, recently disestablished American clergymen consolidated themselves in theological seminaries. Members of the dominant New England Congregationalist and Presbyterian ministries, these seminarians organized a defensive front against itinerant, populist rivals by intensifying their curricula, proscribing physical exertion as a distraction from study, and shielding clerical students from popular influence. Yet critical voices from within the seminaries soon reported that unrelenting study damaged students’ bodily health and alienated the clergy from a laity on whom their educational funding now depended. Accompanying such critiques were proposals for an alternative pedagogy that gained its fullest expression in the manual labor school, where physical vigor was enshrined as a complement to theological training and where barriers separating clergy from laity were minimized. By situating the infirmities that seminarians logged in memoirs and exposés alongside their efforts to reform the seminary system, this article argues that the graduate clergy mustered a coherent, forceful response to the crisis in spiritual leadership that disestablishment precipitated. The article presents clerical elites not as casualties of democratization or as agents of capital, but as self-aware and self-interested economic actors in the reordering of American religious authority after disestablishment.

Данная статья рассматривает новое направление в деятельности Барнаульской духовной семинарии — тьюторство, которое в духовной семинарии чаще именуется «индивидуальное наставничество». Хотя изначально тьютор — это преподаватель, который проводит дополнительные занятия с одним или несколькими учащимися, студентами, в духовной семинарии деятельность тьютора понимается чуть шире и включает в себя функции, которые раньше входили в сферу деятельности классного руководителя или куратора курса. Информация, предложенная в статье, может быть использована индивидуальными наставниками духовных семинарий Русской Православной Церкви. This article considers a new direction in the activities of Barnaul Theological Seminary — tutoring, which in seminaries is often referred to as individual mentoring. Although initially a tutor is an instructor or lecturer who conducts additional classes with one or more students, tutor’s activity in theological seminaries is somewhat wider and includes responsibilities that used to be the activity scope of a supervising teacher or a course curator. The information provided can be used by individual mentors in theological seminaries of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Abstract:
Until 1798 Warsaw remained in the diocese of Poznań despite taking over from Cracow numerous functions of a capital city in the 17th and 18th centuries (nominally it never became the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). During this time two seminaries ran by the Missionaries of St. Vincent de Paul functioned in Warsaw: Seminarium Internum and Seminarium Externum. They were founded in 1675-1676 and educated – especially the latter one – a large group of clergy who later held prominent positions in the structures of the Catholic Church on Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian soil. Among the seminary’s graduates were 66 future bishops (only eight of them underwent formation in Seminarium Internum), who were to minister as ordinaries or suffragans in a majority of dioceses then existing within the borders of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (and also on the territory of historical Greater Poland). Both of the above mentioned theological institutes located in Warsaw continued to function for some decades after the collapse of the pre-partition Polish-Lithuanian state (by then already within the Warsaw diocese and from 1818 in the Warsaw archdiocese). Their existence came to an end in 1864 as a result of repressions by Russian administration after the collapse of the January Uprising. In this second period of the seminaries’ operation the number of alumni who later filled episcopal offices was markedly lower, the last one being the future Gniezno-Poznań metropolitan and cardinal, Mieczysław Ledóchowski, whose name stands out illustriously in the history of the Church in Greater Poland.

Abstract:
The final chapter documents the mainline churches and seminaries in the late sixties experiencing a series of crises in reponse to the great change of the decade. As inner city church membership declined, seminarians sought greater relevance and “authenticity” from their institutions and in their education. In 1968, this was capped off by death of Martin Luther King, and the Columbia Strike and the supportive response at neighboring Union Theological Seminary. As the nation turned its attention outward toward the war in Vietnam and inward toward increasingly volatile urban situtations, SIM was unable to attract needed financial support to continue its growing decentralized program of urban ministry projects, and it disbanded in late spring of 1968.

Abstract:
The author examines the structure, historical and theological background and sources of the Manual of Ceremonies for seminarians, which has been published more than a century ago. This is one of the first and few such manuals for students of theological seminaries of the Byzantine rite, in which the specifics of the prescriptions of divine services in the Lviv Theological Seminary for the movable and immovable periods of the Liturgical year, the ceremonies of pontifical services, orders of ordination and instructions for shortening the Liturgy of the Hours are given. The analysis of this manual, which now remains nothing more than a historical monument, should be meaningful from the point of view of today. Some rubrics should be changed according to modern liturgical reforms, however the liturgical formation of candidates to priesthood remains a problem with new challenges. These problems need to be resolved by studying and researching liturgical sources.

Abstract:
Abstract By midcentury Jeffersonian “infidelity” was being outgunned across the entire front of American higher education. One index was that the most formidable intellectual strongholds of the day were theological seminaries. These schools were in the forefront of American professional education and offered about the only American opportunity for anything resembling graduate education. The leading seminaries, especially those in the Presbyterian-Congregationalist axis, published redoubtable and well edited theological quarterlies which were the forums for most of the nation’s major academic debates. The momentous struggle over Calvinism and its various modifications overshadowed everything else and preoccupied most of the ablest academic minds of the era. Despite the strengths of the theological enterprise, the perennial debates over Calvinism nonetheless signaled an intellectual sea change. Except within the Reformed (Calvinist) denominations themselves, it seemed as though everyone from Unitarians to populist revivalists was trashing Calvinists doctrines as absurd and unreasonably harsh in an enlightened and benevolent age.1 Even within the Reformed churches the shifting cultural sentiments were taking their toll by midcentury. The tradition’s most exclusivist versions, which had emphasized the totality of God’s sovereignty, were under widespread attack and beginning to give way to modifications more congenial to democratic ideals of free choice and moral responsibility.2 Some critics were challenging the theological profession as such. Harriet Beecher Stowe is a striking example. Tied to the theological heritage by birth and by marriage, yet as a woman excluded from formal theological education, Stowe did more than anyone to establish the novel as an alternative forum for religious debate.

Abstract:
The process of transformation in the theological school began in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. New opportunities were opened up for the church in the field of enlightenment and missionary activity, which required the clergy to be prepared for the new realities of church life. The churching of Russian society before the revolution was due to the fact that children from an early age introduced themselves to church life and assimilated the fundamental truths of Christianity. In the 19th century, the clergy were not sufficiently educated, not all priests had a seminary education, and graduates of theological seminaries were appointed deans. It was enough for church servants to be literate.

Abstract:
Abstract Chapter 4 turns to Christian history and the education of the Protestant ministerial class. During the first half of the nineteenth century, seminaries navigated a tension between long-standing Protestant historical narratives and newly emerging historiography, some of which appeared more sympathetic toward the Catholic past. This tension can be seen in the careers of three professors: Samuel Miller at Princeton Theological Seminary, James Murdock at Andover, and Philip Schaff at Mercersburg and Union seminaries. Controversies over historical education reflected concern over the future of the nation, particularly in light of rising Catholic immigration. As Catholics built churches and schools, leading Protestant ministers frequently pointed to the Christian past to demonstrate the incompatibility of Catholicism and American liberty. In this context, the next generation of clergy needed just enough church history to bolster their Protestant convictions.
