OCU calls for a merger with UGCC again
In the Spiritual ABC program on Channel 12, “Metropolitan” Mykhailo Zinkevych of the Lutsk and Volyn of the OCU said that three churches – the OCU, the UOC and the UGCC – should unite into one and elect one primate.
“The path of our Orthodox Church lies in one thing – all confessions must condemn the ideology of the Russian world, condemn the war with which Russia came here, and together with our armed forces, chaplains and priests, expel the enemy from our territory and our country, unite the three churches on the territory of Ukraine – OCU, UOC, UGCC – and choose the Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus. This is a way out of the situation – one state, one power, one church with its primate. This is the way out of this situation. Those who preach other ideas want to split Ukraine,” said the “hierarch” of the OCU.
As the UOJ reported earlier, Mykhailo Zinkevych said that one primate should be elected for the UGCC, OCU and UOC.
