On November 2, a regular meeting of the Eparchial Council chaired by Metropolitan Mitrofan of Lugansk and Alchevsk was held at the working residence of the Lugansk Eparchial Administration, reports the website of the eparchy.
The meeting participants discussed issues relating to the illegal actions by the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as well as the latest decisions of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.
