UOC-KP expects detailed information from Constantinople on the new Church’s Charter
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate commented on the decision of the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate held in Constantinople on November 29. According to UOC-KP press office, under previously achieved agreements, the Kyiv Patriarchate expects to receive detailed official information about the adopted synodal decisions, including the drafted Charter of the Church.
“The Kyiv Patriarchate expresses hope that the joint efforts of all parties involved in the preparation work will soon be successfully completed; the Council will meet and make the necessary decisions on the unification, election of the Primate of the Church and approval of the Charter. After that, according to the previously announced resolutions of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Tomos of autocephaly will be handed over to the Primate of the Church,” the UOC-KP commented.
As RISU has already reported, the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate prepared a draft of the Charter of the Ukrainian Church.
According to the Exarch of the Constantinople Patriarchate in Ukraine, Bishop Daniel (Zelinsky), the proposed draft statute is based on Tomos of Autocephaly.
