  Abstract:  The Hierarchy of the Moldavian Orthodox Curch in the Mid-Seventeenth Century. In the mid-17th century, during Vasile Lupu’s reign, Moldavian Church was organized according to the Eastern tradition, with a hierarchy that managed to impose itself in the religious, cultural and political environment of an East dominated by the Ottoman Porte. Its status was illustrated by the fact that metropolitan Varlaam was a candidate in the 1639 elections for the office of patriarch of Constantinople, and by the synod of Iaşi in the fall of 1642, which endowed Orthodoxy with one of the seven professions of faith officially acknowledged in the East.
