教会没有被熄灭，其规范和等级制度也没有受到严重破坏。其管理继续发挥作用。不可否认的是，圣索非亚大教堂和帕台农神庙已经成为基督教教堂将近一千年，它们被改建成清真寺，但无数其他的教堂，无论是在君士坦丁堡还是其他地方，都留在了基督徒的手中。此外，令人惊讶的是，族长和等级制度的地位得到了相当大的加强，他们的权力得到了提升。他们被赋予了对奥斯曼帝国领土上所有基督徒的民事和教会权力。建立乞讨命令提供了第三级修道院改革。僧侣通常被称为修道士，他们生活在修道院统治之下，传统上有贫穷，贞节和顺从的誓言，但他们在一个僻静的修道院里强调讲道，传教活动和教育。

 

the Church was not extinguished nor was its canonical and hierarchical organization significantly disrupted. Its administration continued to function. The Hagia Sophia and the Parthenon, which had been Christian churches for nearly a millennium were, admittedly, converted into mosques, yet countless other churches, both in Constantinople and elsewhere, remained in Christian hands. Moreover, it is striking that the patriarch's and the hierarchy's position was considerably strengthened and their power increased. They were endowed with civil as well as ecclesiastical power over all Christians in Ottoman territories.  A third level of monastic reform was provided by the establishment of the Mendicant orders. Commonly known as friars, mendicants live under a monastic rule with traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but they emphasize preaching, missionary activity, and education, in a secluded monastery.
