Revisiting the Post-Colonial Character of the Siberian Renovationist Church
Author(s)
S. S. KulpinovAbstract
The article analyzes church practices of the Siberian Renovationist Church in the 1920s – the first half of the 1930s in the view of their postcolonial nature. The features of the postcolonial approach in theology and church practices have been outlined. The article examines the national postcolonialism in the communities and dioceses of the Siberian church, and analyzes some features of Siberian church nationalism in the context of postcolonial issues as well. The author has come to the conclusion that the Siberian Renovationist Church sought to make its own ideas primary, as well as to develop national heritage within individual communities. However, a coherent system of views that could be described as postcolonial was not formed.
