UOC community deprived of church in Ivano-Frankivsk
"Back in 1992, the local authorities did not want to allocate a land plot for a church to our communities, - says the Secretary of the Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Father Vladimir. - And then we went on a hunger strike, which lasted 51 days. Only after that the officials gave us for religious needs an abandoned kindergarten in disrepair. And now they are determined to take it back. "
In the near future, the UOC community of Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy is going to discuss a plan for further action.
The UOJ is following the developments.
