There is no one Church of UOC-KP, – cleric of the Kiev Patriarchate

Priest Sergei Gorbik of the Kiev Patriarchate said that the UOC-KP is not a unified structure, and each diocese selectively refers to priests of other dioceses. He wrote about this on his FB page.

"All the time I have thought that the UOC-KP is a single Orthodox Church, in which all priests are in communion, – he said. - That is, as in normal Orthodox Churches (including even the Moscow Patriarchate), you produce the document confirming that you and a priest and not under a ban and proceed to the concelebration. However, this has proved not to be the case. Each diocese of the UOC-KP is a separate Orthodox Church, to which you are a priest of another Church."

Gorbik added that even to receive communion, you need permission of the ruling bishop of each diocese.
"That is there is no one Church of the UOC-KP, at least in Galicia, – he stressed. – I, the patient, was denied communion. "

There are "good pastors" at the LOTA (Lviv Orthodox Theological Academy - Ed.) and "good" priests are trained in that commercial institution," – concluded the Filaret follower.
