Ukrainain Orthodoxy on the eve of Pan-Orthodox Council. Part III
The history evidences: the Local Churches that were historically associated with earthly empires were uninterested in the canonical establishment of local churches under their jurisdictions, and therefore usually granted autocephaly to churches only under the pressure of historic circumstances. No exception is the Moscow Patriarchate, which has incorporated the Orthodox Church in Ukraine since 1686.

OSCE representative in contact group on Ukraine in Minsk calls for total Easter ceasefire
The OSCE's special representative in the trilateral contact group on Ukraine Martin Sajdik calls for the total observation of the Easter ceasefire in the Donbass area. The diplomat made the relevant statement after negotiations of the trilateral contact group on Ukraine in Minsk on 4 April, BelTA has learned.
Martin Sajdik thanked all parties for efforts to enforce the Easter ceasefire. “Thanks to these efforts the number of ceasefire violations has dropped considerably since 30 March. However, full silence during the Roman Catholic and Protestant Easter was not secured,” stated the diplomat. He urged the sides to do their best and fully observe the ceasefire regime in the run-up to the Orthodox Easter and after it. He reminded that the Easter period lasts 40 days.
The previous week the trilateral contact group on Ukraine and representatives of certain parts of Donetsk Oblast and Lugansk Oblast passed a statement on adherence to the ceasefire regime as from 30 March on the occasion of the Easter celebration. Martin Sajdik stressed that the Normandy Four leaders had welcomed that statement.

Йому платять не за те, щоб читати і думати, а за те, щоб злословити, брехати й обмовляти.

Михаил, перед тим, як писати коментир, прочитайте текст повідомлення і подивіться фото документа, може тоді ваші думки стануть мудрішими, коменти аргументованими, і може вам навіть піднямуть

Михаил, це ви ''наказиние для Украиньі'', а предстоятеля обиратиме Собор, тому ані Патріарх Філарет (Денисенко), ані будь хто інший не може бути перепоною незалежній УПЦ.

Вопрос с Собором, Томосом и автокефалией можно решить достаточно быстро и просто. Но есть одно непреодолимое препятствие - Денисенко. Уберите его и все решится за неделю. А с ним ничего не получится,

Такое грубейшее вмешательство государства в церковные дела было только при коммунистах. Как может Президент написать иерархам "обязательно"? Вспомнил комсомольскую юность и "явка
