A schema-archimandrite of the Zverinets Monastery of the Archangel Michael in Kiev has appealed to the Georgian Orthodox Church to support the canonical Ukrainian Church in its time of persecution and not recognize the schismatic Ukrainian structure. Patriarch Bartholomew personally wrote to all the Orthodox primates following the “unification council” in December, requesting that they recognize the “church” created there and commemorate its primate, “Metropolitan” Epiphany Dumenko. The Holy Synod of the Georgian Church has yet to make an official decision on the matter. Schema-Archimandrite John (Grischenko) posted his appeal on his Facebook page.
CZECH HIERARCH: WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE IS UNBELIEVABLE
The way that the authorities in Ukraine use the Church for political purposes and to cover their own sins is unbelievable, His Eminence Archbishop Juraj of Michalovce and Košice of Slovakia commented in an interview with the Information-Education Department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church yesterday. “There is no ‘super Church,’ having authority over the others,” Abp. Jaraj said. “Never in the history of the Church has autocephaly been granted to schismatic groups without the petition of the canonical Church,” he added.
Primates and other high representatives from Local Orthodox Churches around the world will gather in Moscow to celebrate the 10th anniversary of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia’s election as the Russian primate on February 1. The ongoing Ukrainian Church crisis will be the central theme in Pat. Kirill’s meetings with the visiting primates and hierarchs at that time. “The celebrations will be an occasion to discuss topics that arise not only in Ukraine, but also in the global Orthodox family,” he said, noting that many Synods and hierarchs have expressed “deep concern about the ongoing political invasion” in Church life.
Though many Athonite monks are “extremely negative” about the recent actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople in Ukraine, there is no consensus on the Mountain, a source close to the monastic communities told RIA-Novosti yesterday. “Athonite monks—at least in personal conversations—are very negative about this. But there has been no official decision about it yet,” the source said, answering the question of what kind of attitude prevails on the Holy Mountain towards Constantinople’s new Ukrainian “church.” The Holy Kinot, the ruling body on the Mountain, will probably meet soon to discuss the issue—perhaps yet in January or in February, the source said.
The last month has been especially alarming for the Orthodox faithful in Ukraine. The “unification council” in Kiev, the adoption of the first anti-Church law by the Verkhovna Rada, and the defamation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the media. What are the prospects for Church life in Ukraine? Will the Local Churches recognize the legalization of the schismatics? Is there grace active in the Sacraments celebrated in the Patriarchate of Constantinople? Our conversation with Archbishop Theodosy (Snigirev) of Boyarka, Vicar of the Kiev Metropolia and Chairman of the Church Court of the Kiev Diocese, will discuss these themes.
“Metropolitan” Epiphany Dumenko, the elected head of the Ukrainian schismatic structure created by Constantinople on December 15, is expecting recognition of his “church” from the Greek Orthodox Church and is looking forward to concelebrating with the Greek primate.
