Abstract

During the 19th and 20th centuries, numerous distinguished clergy served in the Apostolic Orthodox Church of Georgia, including Bishop Giorgi (Aladashvili) of Imereti.

On February 1, 1908, Bishop Giorgi (Aladashvili) of Guria-Samegrelo was appointed as the head of the Imereti diocese, a position he held until 1917.

This publication discusses Bishop Giorgi’s tenure as Samitropolit of Imereti from 1908 to 1917, based on archival documents and contemporary press materials.

Archival documents mention efforts towards the restoration of the Kutaisi Theological Seminary. Additionally, records from the sessions of the Temporary Government of the Georgian Church discuss Bishop Giorgi’s dismissal from his diocese.

Most of the archival documents presented in this article are being published for the first time.
