Former Metropolitan, and now "hierarch" of the OCU, Alexander Drabinko, visited the Consulate General of Ukraine in Krakow, reports the official website of the diplomatic institution.
In particular, the parties discussed "the popularization of Ukrainian culture and traditions abroad, as well as the implementation of projects in the cultural and artistic industry, the field of museums, and the preservation of places of national memory".
It is noteworthy that Alexander Drabinko also discussed with Consul General Viacheslav Voinarovsky "a number of important issues of ensuring the spiritual, cultural and educational needs of the large Ukrainian community in Poland”. It remains unclear how the representatives of the OCU are going to meet "spiritual needs" in the canonical territory of the Polish Orthodox Church, which does not recognize the OCU.
As previously reported, the Polish Orthodox Church considers Epiphany Dumenko a layman.
