The article discusses innovative approaches to education on the example of the introduction of distance learning in Russia, the main forms of its organization, the necessary means, areas of application, advantages, and disadvantages. The authors note that distance learning is becoming more in demand, has many advantages, and therefore, will develop. For its development, the modern education system in Russia has all the possibilities, both technically and intellectually. But we must not forget about the shortcomings of distance learning, which must be eliminated in the process of its development and improvement. Particular attention is paid to the legal regulation of distance education.

The problem of professional church education in Russia today is of quite understandable interest. As you know, for a long time the Orthodox Church in Russia was an integral part of state and spiritual life, in this capacity it played a large, albeit ambiguously positive, role in the formation of many generations, in strengthening the socio-political order prevailing in the country. After October 1917, during the Soviet period, the Church was separated from the state and even in some respects from society; its role and place in the life of society were minimized, but did not go unnoticed.In the context of profound historical changes that took place in Russian society at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the role of the Russian Orthodox Church has changed dramatically. More and more, the Church claims to be the bearer of the spiritual principle in society, one of the regulators of its spiritual life as a whole. Many today strive to create not only their personal lives, but also social activities based on the Orthodox worldview.
