The newly elected Primate of the Ukrainian Local Autocephalous
Orthodox Church Epifaniy (Dumenko) called on all Orthodox people in
Ukraine to unite around the new Church. The Primate said it on Sophia
Square in his first speech he delivered as a Primate.
“The doors of our Church are open to everyone. We call for unity, we
call you to unite in this recognized one local Ukrainian Orthodox
Church,” he said.
“I am convinced that the Orthodox Church, unified and acknowledged,
will serve in good faith and truth its Ukrainian people, will pray and
lead it on the path to salvation,” added the Primate.
Metropolitan Epifaniy stated that the clergy of the new Church had a lot of work ahead.
“We must complete the unification of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, cultivate
our Ukrainian theological education and science, pray for the cessation
of the war and the rule of fair peace in Ukraine. May God help us in
this,” the Primate stressed.
