Summary/Abstract: Today, both university and church management follow strict economic principles, along with scholarly accreditation rules that grant more academic freedom. The canonical order, on the other hand, is what has traditionally defined the spiritual confessional hierarchy of relationships among theologians. Simultaneously, moral choice and commitment to values are essential pillars of humanitarian and theological professionalism, as well as of most of the fields that share social practices with the Orthodox Church. Theological and clerical professionalism is the basic requirement of many services that are shared along the development of church lifestyle, ethos, and liturgical life with religious communities who need education in faith, encompassing the entire Christian Church. While the hierotopy of scared church space and community had been mystically integrating the entire range of human attitudes toward theological perfection into one sacramental liturgical whole, media began sharing that process with global society more and more openly. Everyone could freely, instantly, and dynamically access Eastern Orthodox Christian Church and try to find their special place in the whole church organism, where every part is to be perfectly bonded with the others, without live adjustment of one's individual state of spiritual growth according to collective perspectives.
