The rector of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the village of Halynivka, Volyn region, Archpriest Yuri Tatunchak told the UOJ that the forced re-registration of the UOC community in favour of the OCU would not make the persecuted UOC community end its activities, and now the rector, together with the parishioners, will decide where to further pray.
