Metropolitan Nektarios of Corfu, a hierarch of the Church of Greece, reiterated his stance on the religious situation in Ukraine. A video of the conversation with the Greek hierarch was published on the Telegram channel of the Cherkasy Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, to which he had previously gifted a slipper of Saint Spyridon of Trimythous.
"I have always been and will continue to be on the side of the canonical Church under the leadership of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine. I consider this Church to be canonical," Metropolitan Nektarios emphasized.
He noted that on the island of Corfu, clergy and believers of the UOC are always welcomed and share Eucharistic communion with them.
"Others do not even dare to come because they know that I do not recognize the Church of the schismatics," added the metropolitan of the Church of Greece.
As previously reported by the UOJ, on February 12, a slipper of Saint Spyridon of Trimythous was brought to Cherkasy.
