Jennifer Hedda analyzes the ideas and activities of the parish clergy serving in St. Petersburg, the capital of imperial Russia, in order to discover how the Russian Orthodox Church responded theologically and pastorally to the profound social, economic, and cultural changes that transformed Russia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The challenges of modernity forced the Orthodox clergy, like other members of educated society, to re-examine their interpretation of the Churchs earthly mission and their own role in fulfilling it.

The clergys work culminated in 1905, when a workers organization established by an Orthodox priest became a mass political movement whose activities sparked a revolution.
