difficult to put into practice due to (1)
insuperable contradictions between the
principles of secular and religious education, (2) contradictory competency

The methodological basis of the

approaches defining the place of the
Orthodox Christian clergy community in

a conceptual analysis of the notions. The
empirical basis is a document analysis
and a social research secondary analysis.
