In the meanwhile, the Orthodox Church of
Ukraine may be recognized by another reputable Orthodox Church. This
conclusion can be made from the words of the people's Deputy from the
"European Solidarity" Rostislav Pavlenko, reports "Pryamyy (Direct) Channel".
"During the year, we have two other
Churches that recognized the autocephaly of the Ecumenical Patriarchate:
the Church of Greece – one of the most highly reputed churches in the
Orthodox world and the second in honor Church of Alexandria.
Now, unfortunately, due to the epidemic,
there are several others... I think we spoke on some program, I said
that there would be good news – I was referring to Alexandria. I will
also say there will be more good news, but first, the Churches must
return to normal worship, to normal liturgical processes," Pavlenko said
in the program "About personal" with Natalka Fitsych.
On February 14, 2020, the Romanian
Orthodox Church recognized that the Tomos was lawfully provided to the
OCU. On November 8, 2019, the head of the Patriarchate of Alexandria,
Theodore, mentioned Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv for the first time
during the Liturgy, when mentioning the Primates of the Local Orthodox
Churches.
