Radicals resume attacks of the only UOC temple in Ternopol (PHOTO)

Today, on November 20th, radical activists re-launched their campaign near the only UOC temple in the honor of Great Martyrs Vera, Nadezhda, Lubov and their mother Sophia. According to the UOJ sources, the radicals set up their tents closer to the place than usual.

“We were surprised by such agitation,” said one of the church parishioners to the UOJ. – While they used to display their propaganda stuff further from the place, today the activists were particularly demanding.”

According to the UOJ sources, radicals had left the parishioners alone for several weeks. Yet they resumed their activity today.

The believers say their church’s senior priest, father Stephan, did not give his blessing “to have a hot argument with schismatics”.
