Abstract:
The talk explores how Greek Orthodox communities from villages in the
region of Kayseri attempted to build, rebuild or repair church
buildings in the late Ottoman period. The process was not as simple as
raising funds or finding a financial benefactor. Building a church
became a communal enterprise led by the local clergy, especially the
Metropolitan of Caesarea, but also required the population to marshal
significant resources to ensure its success. The challenges both
clergy and lay people faced to accomplish the ambitious projects
included gathering funds and materials, hiring architects and
builders, as well as getting imperial permission. These challenges
were met with very creative and effective strategies, and churches
depended on these rather than fiat from the Patriarchate of
Constantinople. Building a structure of such magnitude took great
commitment from multiple stake-holders.
