More than half of the monks of the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra are actually behind the OCU. Epiphany Dumenko said this in an interview with DetectorUA.
According to the head of the OCU, the "Lavra will be Ukrainian" over time and this will happen peacefully, when everyone comes to "understanding".
“Although there is information that more than half of the monks are leaning toward (the OCU – Ed.) and understand what is really happening in the Lavra,” assured Dumenko. “And if this critical mass is greater, then it will happen by itself, without any resistance and opposition. One needs time."
Earlier, Dumenko again attributed the UOC community to his structure claiming that all parishes in Ukraine belong to the OCU after the granting of the Tomos.
