Bills № 4511 and № 4128 are aimed at destroying the prayerful life of our Mother Church, – Bishop Alexis of Voznesensk

"Our Mother Church is in danger! Once again, the enemy of the human race, through his accomplices, is trying hard to destroy Her soul-saving work!

Today, the servants of the devil, shouting about decommunisation, went further than their teachers – "neodemocrats." Using their methods of pressure on the Church, they propose to adopt new bills aimed at destroying the prayerful life of our Mother Church, the long-established church-administrative system.

Our Mother Church is the God-human organism, headed by Christ Himself, we have a great power through prayer to turn to God Himself.

In this regard, starting from May 14 to May 18 inclusive, I ask and bless you:

1) to fast and entrust yourself with a prayer feat, as reading by agreement a prayer rule;

2) Fathers-deans and rectors to organize collection of signatures of parishioners under the Bishops' appeal; to send the lists in the shortest possible time to the reception offices of people's deputies of Ukraine, on whose districts your parishes are located.

My dear flock, brothers and sisters! I ask you not to lose heart, for Christ said to us: "Fear not, little flock, I'm with you until the end of time." We are not two or three, we are thousands – we will testify of our Orthodox Faith! I believe that the Queen of Heaven, covering our land with Her Omophor, all the saints, who are before the throne of the Lord, – will never leave us!" says the Address.

As the UOJ reported, bills № 4128 and № 4511 can become not only a new excuse for accusations of violations of religious rights by Ukraine, but also a "trigger" for irreversible decisions that can destroy the statehood of Ukraine as such.
