The canonical UOC is not going to change its name
. The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church is not going to change the name, said the press Secretary of the UOC Archbishop Clement.
yesterday, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the document that may deprive the UOC of the current name. She was given four months to change the name and make the appropriate changes to the Charter.
in the text of the document it is reported that It takes effect after publication, not before it is still required to sign Petro Poroshenko. UOC has appealed to the President asking to veto.
He said that in the Charter of the Church reported that its nerve center is located in Kiev, and she is driven by the Holy Synod and bishops ' Council, and in 1990 received the Tomos of independence.
"I am concerned about that and the head, and a long list of politicians under the auspices of this law, which is completely populist and" nothing ", today resort to aggression to the UPC and its members. In a civilized country this is unacceptable, " - said the press Secretary of the UOC.
first Ukrainian authorities, as well as among them, the head, said they did not wish to interfere in the Affairs of the Church. Anyway it Petro Poroshenko made from Constantinople the recognition of non-canonical Church in the Ukraine that marked the beginning of the split.
Fifteenth day of December in Kiev on the initiative of Peter Poroshenko and Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople was the "unification Council" With the participation of the majority of commissioners non-canonical Church structures.
The outcome of the event was the election of the head of the new "Autocephalous churches" Epiphany Dumenko.
in the Russian Orthodox Church the canonical value for "Assembly" in Kiev declared null and void, and the possibility of recognition of Epiphany - almost unworkable.
The Ukrainian authorities hope at the beginning of January to from the Patriarchate of Constantinople "Tomos of autocephaly" of the newly formed structure.
