Religious organizations, by establishing rigidly structured dioceses and other hierarchical subdivisions, create certain administrative boundaries within their communities, which ultimately contributes to the division of the world’s population. For example, as illustrated by the case of the Caucasian diocese—initially conceived as a unified entity for the entire Caucasian region—significant territorial and organizational changes later occurred. As cited, “the Caucasian diocese was initially established for the entire Caucasian region… but the division of the diocese by nullifying the Cossack churches makes no sense” (source: 1173_5863.txt, page: 481). This demonstrates how administrative decisions can lead to the artificial fragmentation of an integrated religious structure.
