His Beatitude Onufriy, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine, has
received a letter from the Primate of the Polish Orthodox Church
expressing concern over the crisis situation in the life of the
Ukrainian Orthodox Church resulted from the unlawful actions of the
Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In his letter, His Beatitude Sava,
Metropolitan of Warsaw and All Poland, refers to the Polish Orthodox
Church’s decision of May 9, 2018, a notice of which was sent to Primates
of all the Local Orthodox Churches. Among other things, it contained a
warning that the present church disorders in Ukraine, if not duly
appeased, would make a destructive impact on the life of the whole world
Orthodoxy and bring sorrow and temptations to it. ‘Now we can see that
it has happened so. We are keenly feeling it. The life of the Church and
the personal faith are not jokes’, His Beatitude Sava notes in his
letter to the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
To His
Beatitude Onufriy ‘and all the faithful who stand for the purity of
faith defined doctrinally by the canonical teaching of the Holy Orthodox
Church’ Metropolitan Sava sent the words of fraternal love and respect
and assured them of his prayers, reports the website of the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church Department for External Church Relations.
