The Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate prepared a draft statute for the future Local Church of Ukraine, says the official communique following the session of the Synod of the Constantinople Church and published on the website of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
“In the context of the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s previously-made decision to grant autocephaly to the Church of Ukraine, and in anticipation of the issuance of the Patriarchal and Synodal Tomos, the Holy and Sacred Synod drafted the Ukrainian Church’s Constitutional Charter,” reads the document.
