On March 29, 2019, the official internet portal of the Albanian
Orthodox Church published the text of a letter written by His Beatitude
Anastasios, Archbishop of Tirana and All Albania, to the Primate of the
Church of Constantinople. As it is noted in the introductory part of the
publication, in his previous correspondence with the Patriarch of
Constantinople, Archbishop Anastasios did not receive an answer to the
perplexities set forth in the Letter of January 14, in which the Holy
Synod of the Albanian Church was reported to refrain from the
recognition of the so-called ‘Orthodox Church of Ukraine’ created by the
Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In his published letter, His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios pointed
out that the decisions made by Patriarch Bartholomew on the Ukrainian
problem have failed to heal the divisions while creating a threat of
dividing Universal Orthodoxy. His Beatitude gave special attention to
the problem of the apostolic succession of the Ukrainian schismatic
leaders and their followers admitted to communion with the Patriarchate
of Constantinople.
Below is the full text of the letter.
