Аннотация

Целью настоящего исследования являлось выявление соотношения нормативно-канонической базы и организационных моделей хозяйственной деятельности Русской православной церкви в сопоставлении с современными международными подходами. Методология исследования опиралась на количественный и качественный контент-анализ нормативных актов Русской православной церкви и Министерства просвещения Российской Федерации с использованием программных средств MAXQDA и AntConc, а также на сопоставление с результатами международных исследований. Результаты показали, что в нормативных актах РПЦ преобладают категории «правовое регулирование» (128 упоминаний, 41,9 %), «образовательная деятельность» (95-102 упоминания, 31,7 %) и «организационные вопросы» (69-73 упоминания, 26,4 %). Дополнительно фиксировались блоки «этика и социальная ответственность» (38-41 упоминание) и «международное сотрудничество» (25-27 упоминаний). Практическая деятельность церковных институтов совпадает с уставными нормами лишь частично: 64 % по имущественным операциям и 42 % по образовательным проектам. Международные исследования продемонстрировали, что финансовая прозрачность повышает устойчивость религиозных общин (рост числа активных участников на 37 % и пожертвований на 24 %), а внедрение образовательных программ и курсов финансовой грамотности способствует снижению текучести кадров. Цифровизация документооборота и онлайн-обучения позволила сократить административные расходы на 12-20 % и увеличить охват слушателей с 4,3 тыс. до 11,7 тыс. за шесть лет. Установлено, что основные расхождения касаются имущественного управления и образовательной подготовки специалистов. Полученные данные могут быть использованы при разработке программ повышения квалификации духовенства и совершенствовании системы церковного управления
