Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the Bulgarian Orthodox Church's own governing Statute, adopted by the Sixth Church-People's Council on 11 December 2008 at Rila Monastery (published in the Church Gazette 9 January 2009 per the Church's own site), read at its official hosted address. Covers ecclesiastical structure, the selection of church leaders, synodal organization and diocesan administration; contains no provision anywhere on parish funding, member giving, tithes, dues or voluntary contributions. Used only to establish that this particular governing document is silent on the question, not as evidence that no Bulgarian Orthodox source anywhere addresses it; no content record for the Bulgarian Orthodox Church itself exists in this atlas, so no fact or open question is written against it this round (see the accompanying report).
