THE SUNDAY SHOW WITH ARCHIMANDRITE CYRIL HOVORUN


It's here, it's now. Ukraine has finally got its hands on the Tomos of Autocephaly, the document granting independence to the newly-formed and united Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

This follows months of meetings and negotiations the driving force of which was Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, as well as hundreds of years of the only canonical Ukrainian Orthodox church being under Russian leadership.
The head of the newly-formed Church, Metropolitan Epiphanius I who was elected on December 15, along with Poroshenko, received Tomos on January 6 from the hands of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. The two Ukrainians are now the rightful owners of the copy, which from January 7 onward will be stored and displayed at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
To discuss these news and their impact, we will be joined by the Loyola Marymount University Professor Archimandrite Cyril Hovorun.
