Biography
At first he was a hierodeacon at the Novgorod Bishop’s House and a teacher in a Novgorod Latin school. As a person familiar with foreign languages and who had previously been abroad, he was appointed by the Holy Synod for the priesthood in the house church of the Russian envoy in London, and on May 27, 1739 he was ordained a hieromonk . However, a Greek priest, who was in London since 1716, very unfriendly met the Russian priest, argued with him about the primacy in the ministry, and constantly complained about Father John to the Holy Synod [1] .
In 1740, John was transferred to Holland , but the Russian ambassador Count Alexander Golovkin sent him to St. Petersburg in August 1741, as if he didn’t have space for him, and gave him feedback that Father John “knows many sciences in many foreign countries I’ve been and deserves the highest place ” [1] .
After that, John was abbot in the Novgorod Iversky Novgorod monastery , and then at the Nativity monastery in Putivl . In 1749 [2] he was moved to the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery and since 1750 he was a member of the Moscow Theological Consistory [1] .
In 1751, in some cases, John was brought to court in Moscow and fled from Moscow on June 29, but was found in St. Petersburg on July 14, 1751.
In the affairs of the archive of the Holy Synod for 1751, No. 255/101, John is mentioned with a date of October 5, 1752. Further information about him is not available [3] .
