Effects of Synodal Acts on the unification, development and Identity of the Unified Church of Kyiv.Results. The study found that the adoption and approval of many canonical norms prohibited the Zamojs’kyj  Synod from most roman catholic ceremonial practices, practices of the Eastern byzantine-ukrainian rite, which were not otherwise stipulated, and legalized a number of roman catholic religious holidays. The innovations fostered a better understanding between representatives of the byzantine rite and their catholic neighbors. The rulemaking of the Zamojs’kyj Synod defined the main directions of development of the Kyiv Church for the following centuries up to the present day.

Practical importance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities for the purpose of legal regulation of public relations in the sphere of state-confessional relations.
