History
In 1838, the first spiritual educational school was opened in Omsk, which was located in the former house of the head physician Katonov and two other houses belonging to Ilyin and the hospital attendant Kostromin on Butyrsky forstadt [2] . Buildings owned by Ilyin and Kostromin were acquired along with a land plot (675 square fathoms) by the Omsk diocesan administration. In 1842, five teachers worked in the educational institution and 65 students studied, who were preparing for consecration as priests. Gradually, this place became the cultural and religious center of the city [3] .
According to the results of the work of the special commission, which included Archpriest and Rector of the Resurrection Cathedral of Omsk, Stefan Znamensky (later joined the board of the school), the Omsk Theological School (OmDU), with the consent of the local clergy, was transferred to Ishim in 1871–1872 [3 ] .
On December 9, 1905, Gabriel (Golosov) was appointed bishop of Omsk and Semipalatinsk . Under him, the construction of the bishop’s house and consistory was completed and a female diocesan school was opened. Considering spiritual education to be one of the first tasks, he sent a petition to the Holy Synod to establish his own theological seminary in the city. The synod considered the possibility of transferring the Ishim Theological School to Omsk, and in 1916 the primary classes of the school were transferred from Ishim to the primary classes of the seminary, and in 1916-1917 the Omsk Theological Seminary began its work [3] [4] .
After the October Revolution, the Omsk Theological Seminary was closed by the Bolsheviks [5] [3] .
In 1991, with the blessing of Archbishop Theodosius Protsyuk, the Omsk Theological School resumed its activity and again recruited students [3] .
On April 16, 2016, by the decision of the Holy Synod, the Omsk Diocesan Theological School was transformed into the Omsk Theological Seminary [6] .
