During
the past months, we have noticed the disposition of our Holy Brother
Hierarchs for the recognition of Hos Most Holiness the Ecumenical
Patriarch’s awarding of Autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church by Synodal
Tome.
As is well known, our Holy Catholic
Orthodox Church operates according to the synodal system of
administration, as it received it from tradition and the Holy Ecumenical
Councils. According to this, the Presidents of the local Ecclesiastical
Synods consisted of the members present.
In conforming with this, we too, as the
present and effective authority of the disposition of the Brother Holy
Hierarchs, commemorated in the Diptychs of the Catholic Orthodox Church
the Primate of the Autocephalous Church of Kiev and All Ukraine, His
Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphanios, fervently praying for the peace and
stability of our Orthodox Churches.
