Dumenko of the Southeast not joining OCU: “They’re in a spiritual sleep”
Epifaniy Dumenko said in an interview with “Suspilne” that only a few communities have moved to the OCU in the Odessa region.
The head of the OCU added that the transition process in the South-East of Ukraine "is not intensive".
According to Epifaniy, the process of the transfer of communities is taking place slowly in the Odessa region, not as the OCU would like, and this happens because believers there are “in a state of spiritual sleep”.
“There are some, but these are very few communities. Well, for some reason, this region is still in a wait state,” Dumenko noted.
As earlier reported, Dumenko and Poroshenko discussed "traitors in cassocks".
