Court refuses UOC community of Nesterovtsy village in its right to temple
As the community lawyer told the correspondent, the judge motivated his decision by the fact that UOC believers did not present “sufficient documents to prove their right of ownership of the temple of St. Nicholas.”
The lawyer is preparing a statement of appeal to Rovno Court of Appeal.
At the moment the UOC community holds divine services in the building granted to them by local authorities – former tailor’s workshop.
The temple in the honor of St. Nicholas was “taken in” by the schismatic priest who had served in Nesterovtsy for 20 years. He passed to the Kiev Patriarchate when he had been prohibited to serve in church for misconduct.
The UOJ follows the developments.
