We have readers in Europe: English version of the new UOJ brochure was published (PDF-file)

In Europe there was published a brochure “Orthodox Church in Modern Ukraine” in the English language.  

The brochure highlights the war-related issues in the eastern region of Ukraine, analyzes a possibility of the existence of national Ukrainian Church, and discusses “pros” and “cons” of church service in the Ukrainian language and influence of politics on the church life.   

In the context of the Pan-Orthodox Council the brochure was taken to Crete and Paris.

An English version of the brochure is available here.
