St. Filaret of Moscow as a Сanonist

Abstract

The personality of St. Filaret is attractive because he was multi-talented. Be- sides being a profound theologian and academic scholar, he was also a wonderful administrator.
I must say that in life it is very rare to meet deep scientists who would be good administrators at the same time. Usually scientists are burdened with managerial activities. But Saint Filaret was not like that. He cared about everything that concerned his diocese and church affairs in general.
Studying his administrative activities, one involuntarily wonders: how he managed to do all this… nevertheless, he managed and managed perfectly.
