What reading level is The Religion of Russia a Study of the Orthodox Church in Russia From the Point book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
< c < B X h 2 u w "5 h THE HIERARCHY 41 The Troitsky or Trinity Lavra in the neighbourhood of Moscow is the most famous of these. I referred to this monastery and its glorious past in the chapter dealing with the religious history of Russia. Thousands of pilgrims from all parts of Russia visit its glittering shrines every year. It is the national sanctuary. Organization Owing to the centralization of authority in the Holy Synod, a Russian bishop has nothing like the independence of our own Fathers in God. He is more like a government official, administering his diocese like a civil governor, with the assistance of his consistory court, a body composed of monks, secular clergy, and laymen. The secretary is a lay- man who has a great deal of power. Responsible to this court are the rural deans, who in turn supervise the parochial clergy in their districts. It is worthy of remark that the title of archbishop is a purely honorary one, conferred in recognition of good service. A bishop receives the distinc- tion without necessarily vacating his see or extending his jurisdiction.
