UOC denies any relation to the conference to be held in March in Lugansk
The statement was published "in connection with the information of the conference "Personality-society-state: the social space and security" to be held in Lugansk on March 23-24, 2017, which appeared in online resources."
"The UOC diocese of Lugansk has no relation to the organization and holding of the above-mentioned conference," said the statement.
"Apparently, the intentions of the organizers of the event are mere wishful thinking. We regard this as an attempt to use the authority of the diocese and to draw it into the sphere of political manipulation," wrote in the diocese.
