In Nikiforovtsy Filaret followers attempting to take over UOC chapel
Representatives of the Kiev Patriarchate are setting up the village against St. Basil the Great religious community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, reports a UOJ source.
January 5, at 14.30 St. Basil the Great’s chapel was attended by representatives of the Kiev Patriarchate who got off the locks. The intruders did not show any documents proving their ownership of the temple.
The incident was preceded by a meeting, which, according to Fr. Alexander Rodzenko, was attended by people who do not live in the village. By a majority vote they took a decision on the transfer of the UOC religious community of the village to the Kiev Patriarchate. In addition, the agitators claimed that "the priests of the UOC will now take more money for the funeral service."
The UOJ is closely following developments.
