The UOC strikes back
The Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church considers the activities of the “exarchs” of the Patriarchate of Constantinople anti-canonical and violating interfaith peace in Ukraine, and also calls on them to leave the canonical territory of the UOC.
This was reported by the Information and Educational Department of the UOC, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At the meeting of the Synod, the activities of the “exarchs” were called a violation of the canonical territory of the UOC.
The “Exarchs” of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Archbishop Daniel of Pamphylia and Bishop Hilarion of Edmonton, must leave the canonical territory of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The episcopate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is to suspend concelebration with the hierarchs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople,” the decision says.
Earlier, PolitNavigator reported that the Patriarchate of Constantinople began preparations for the granting of church autocephaly to the schismatic “Kyiv Patriarchate”. For this purpose, two exarchs from the USA and Canada were sent to Ukraine: Archbishop Daniel of Pamphylia and Bishop Hilarion of Edmonton.
