On Friday, October 26, the head of the UOC Kiev Patriarchate held a press conference on the future of an independent Ukrainian church, reports BBC.
Among other things, Filaret said that no one can prevent the unification of the Ukrainian churches at this stage..
According to him, the next step towards the formation of a single independent Ukrainian church is the convening of a unifying council..
"It will consist of three churches: the Kyiv Patriarchate - more than 40 bishops, the Autocephalous Church - 12 bishops and say that at least 10 bishops of the Moscow Patriarchate. That is, a Council will be convened from these bishops, and this Council will unite the integration of all three churches into one Ukrainian Orthodox church, "noted Filaret.
