President Poroshenko to meet with UOC-MP hierarchs
On November 8, Metropolitan Onufriy, Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate, signed a letter to the governing and vicarious bishops of dioceses, which obliges them to arrive on November 13 for a meeting with President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, reports Religion in Ukraine.
The meeting is scheduled for 14:00 in the assembly hall of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (copy number 45).
“Participation of all diocesan and vicarious bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is compulsory,” the letter reads.
The bishop's participation in the event must be reported to the Office of the Kyiv Metropolis until November 10 inclusive.
It is obvious that the meeting will discuss the support of the provision of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine on the part of the hierarchs of the UOC (MP).
On November 8, a photocopy of the letter of the head of the UOC (MP) was quickly distributed on social networks.
