Ukrainian
Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchate appealed to the faithful who want
to counter the attempts of the UOC (MP) to disrupt obtaining the Tomos
of autocephaly. A relevant appeal was published on Facebook by
Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya), Chair of the Information Department of
the Kyiv Patriarchate, Secretary of the Holy Synod of the UOC-KP.
He
noted that two years ago, each parish of the Kyivan Patriarchate had
already sent their letters to the Ecumenical Patriarchate in favor of
the bestowal of the Tomos. However, citizens can join their letters to
the thousands of letters already sent.
Archbishop
Yevstratiy noted separately that during one of the visits to the
Ecumenical Patriarchate, representatives of the UOC-KP said that every
day they received many bags of such letters, so there was no place to
put them.
Archbishop
Yevstratiy has published an address to send letters in Greek, Turkish,
English, and Russian for those who think it necessary to add their
personal voice in support of the recognition of the autocephaly of the
Church in Ukraine.
