Religious confrontation brewing in Ostrovets of Ivano-Frankivsk region
On October 22, the radicals promised to seize the church of the UOC. At the same time, there is still no community of the Kyiv Patriarchate in the village of Ostrovets. The church meeting and elections of the ten were held only on October 22 – the newly formed community is not registered anywhere yet.
On Sunday, church raiding did not happen. The community of the UOC and representatives of the Kyiv Patriarchate alternately prayed outdoors near the walls of the church.
