Although the majority of the clergy and laity of the eparchy at that time favored remaining under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the administrative unit never returned to the Orthodox Church.

However, in 1632, when the parallel existence of Orthodox and Uniate hierarchies was legalized in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Eparchy of Turov and Pinsk was not reactivated.

The jurisdiction of the bishop of Turov and Pinsk was also recognized by some parishes located outside the described area but historically connected with the administrative unit.

Sources confirm the existence of 188 parishes under the bishop of Turov and Pinsk during this period; the figure of 255 pastoral stations reported by some church historians is considered unlikely.

The source for this view is a passage in the Primary Chronicle, which describes Sviatopolk I of Kiev assuming power in the Principality of Turov.

[2] In Antoni Mironowicz's opinion, the view that the Turov eparchy was established as early as the 10th century, although widely spread in church tradition, is unreliable.

[1] The concept of dividing the Volodymyr eparchy and creating new administrative units was supported by the Kyiv Metropolitan John II [pl].

[8] This area was defined by the rivers Pripyat, Pina, Yaselda, Sluch, Lan, Bobryk, Tsna, Stokhod, Styr, Lva [pl], Stsviha, Uborca, and Horyn.

[1] The eparchy's boundaries frequently changed due to conflicts between Rus' dukes and shifting borders between principalities.

Some parishes outside this area but historically connected to the administrative unit also recognized the authority of the bishop of Turov and Pinsk.

[30] Despite this, with the help of the Orthodox nobility and townspeople of Polesia, Abraham managed to illegitimately oversee the eparchy until 1630, residing in the Leszcze Monastery.

It was only in 1630 that King Sigismund III Vasa summoned him before the royal court for performing the duties of a bishop without the necessary privilege and for overseeing numerous clergy.

[32] Despite the fact that the Orthodox Turov eparchy had permanently become a Uniate administration, the Kyiv Metropolitans did not formally accept its closure.

[36] After him, from 1158 to 1182, the office was held by Kirill, a distinguished preacher, theologian, and religious poet, who was recognized as a saint by his successor, Laurentius [pl].

From the period of the Tatar invasions of Turov's land, only two different lists of bishops from the synodics of the Oldzewiecki church have survived.

[44] Detailed information about the endowment of the Eparchy of Turov begins during the reign of Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania.

Vytautas issued privileges to the bishops of Turov, allowing them to collect tithes, fees from measures and weights, revenues from honey sales, and taxes from taverns and court cases.

[26] Another document confirming the endowment of the administration comes from 1631 (from the period when the Turov bishopric had already passed to the Uniate Church) and lists the same assets accumulated over the centuries, except for the village of Wilcze.

The bishops of Turov were also in conflict with Duchess Alexandra Ostrogska, who repeatedly seized part of the administration's revenues or looted properties donated to the eparchy by her late husband, Konstanty.

[49] Conflicts between the Turov bishops and the nobility, who were plundering the eparchy's assets (particularly with the Ostrogski and Dubrovitski dukes), persisted throughout the 16th century.

[51] Disputes over church assets gradually intensified, and during the tenure of Bishop Cyril Terlecki of Pinsk, they were almost continuous.

Possible separate monasteries may have also been founded in Starazhovtsy [pl] (south of Turov) and Czernicze, within the city's limits, functioning only in the 12th and 13th centuries.

[56] According to church tradition, the Monastery of the Assumption of the Mother of God in Nowy Dwór [pl] was also founded in the 13th century by the future Metropolitan of Kyiv, Peter.

[61] Some authors associated with the Russian Orthodox Church claim that there were as many as 49 monasteries in the Eparchy of Turov and Pinsk in the 15th century, although this number is highly improbable.

[39] In the second half of the 16th century, the eparchy consisted of twelve deaneries: Pinsk, Drohiczyn, Biezdziec, Lohiszyn, Lubieszów, Nobel, Pohosko, Stolin, Horodec (David-Haradok), Turov, Pyetrykaw, and Dąbrowica.

Despite territorial losses due to changing political circumstances, the activities of the bishops of Turov, even more so than private endowments, facilitated the development of the eparchial structures.

[39] A notable influence on the development of the parish network was the granting of the Duchy of Pinsk to Princess Maria Gasztołd, the widow of Prince Semen Olelkovich, in 1471 by privilege of Casimir IV Jagiellon.

[67] In 1522, Sigismund I the Old reaffirmed Alexander's edict, stating that only the Bishop of Turov could establish new churches and monasteries within the eparchy.

The parishes included (the time of establishment of all the described churches is undetermined; it happened in the 16th century at the latest):[77] The seat of the deanery was Nobel.

[82] The Dormition Cathedral in Turov, built in the mid-12th century and destroyed in 1230, was one of the largest churches in the entire Metropolis of Kyiv.
