Ternopol Regional Council urges Pochaev Lavra abbot to attend the "Council"
Metropolitan Vladimir (Moroz) of Pochaev
The 4th plenary meeting of the 10th session of the Ternopol Regional Council, which began its work in Pochaev on December 10, has 70 topical issues on its agenda. However, according to the edition “Pulse of Kremenets”, the people's deputies started considering them only after the appeal of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to the abbot of the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra, Metropolitan Vladimir (Moroz), had been read out, urging the hierarch to take part in the “Unification Council” of the Ukrainian Local Orthodox Church.
The edition also notes that yesterday’s meeting was to consider draft decision No. 494 “On consideration of the application of the Pochaev Holy Dormition Lavra for a mining area for the development of the Pochaev construction sand deposit in the Kremenets district”. The deputies decided to postpone this issue, citing the need for its more detailed study. According to the deputy of the Pochaev city council Taras Palianitsa, who attended the session of the regional council, the parishioners of the Pochaev Lavra present at the meeting were disappointed with the decision to postpone the quarrying.
We recall, on November 23, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine cancelled the re-registration of the buildings of the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra, and on November 28, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to return the Pochaev Lavra to the Kremenets-Pochaev Reserve. Lawyer of the Kremenets-Pochaev State Historical and Architectural Reserve Igor Derevinsky reported on possible scenarios for the development of the situation around the Pochaev Lavra: according to him, it could be lent out to the Single Local Church.
