The first Kamchatkan missionary congress in the early 20th century

Not as much attention as wished was paid by Russian and foreign researchers to the issue of development of the social, cultural and religious education of Russian Orthodox Church on Kamchatka at the beginning of the XX century. The First Kamchatka´s missionary congress, which happened in February, 1914, is still a white spot. Several pre-revolutionary and Soviet authors mention it, anyhow, but these references are not exploratory, they are informative. Contemporaries should have felt the results of implementation of decisions made during the conference. The aim of the issues, raised at the First Kamchatka´s missionary congress, was to sharpen public attention to the problems of further development of Orthodoxy on the territory of the Utmost North-East.
