Summary

Active searches in the field of improving forms of church administration, which began in Ukraine in the 90s of the last century and continue in one form or another even today, force us to look at the historical experience in this area, developed over the centuries. The interwar period of the 20th century was rich in initiatives in the diocesan governance of Volyn, when the Orthodox regions found themselves not only in new geopolitical conditions, as part of various states, but also church centers. In addition, the process of spiritual and national identification of Ukrainians changed the picture of church life. All these factors influenced the forms and efficiency of work of diocesan authorities. In the specified period, the Orthodox Volynians were part of the Moscow Patriarchate during the period of synodal administration, later the restoration of the patriarchal system, the democratization of diocesan authorities, the creation of new governing bodies within the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Russian Church, headed by Vicar Sergius (Stragorodskyi). The study of the evolution of diocesan administration bodies in the interwar period of the 20th century on the example of the Orthodox Volyn Diocese, it still had its author. Until now, church historians were limited to other topics, and the issues of the historical development of church governing bodies were considered only in passing. The study of the evolution of the bodies of diocesan administration not only provides a historical retrospective and answers to the questions of the current state, but is also able to show the positive experience of changes, to indicate the perspective of reforms taking into account the tradition. This article examines the historical development of church administration; the evolution of diocesan management bodies; determines the effectiveness of changes in the functions and work of the diocesan administration; outlines the Ukrainian traditions of church administration at the diocesan level, the return to ancient Ukrainian spiritual practices, sending in the native language and the activation of the religious and educational mission of the clergy.

Key words: Volyn diocese, Ukrainian Orthodoxy, church congress, democratization of church life.
