Summary |
Origin
After the break with the official church clergy issue arose within the church traditionalist. At the end of the seventeenth century , there was a bishop to ordain new priests. Part of the communities found a solution by order of priests in the Church official who then joined the breakaway church. Other communities preferred to do without clergy. They were called "no priests." They finally split in many movements.
The old Orthodox Church Pomors or "Danilov Confession" was founded in the Eastern Karelia by Danila Vikulin Denisov and brothers. Because of the repression in the Tsarist Empire , communities settled and developed outside of Russia.
