The Patriarch of Constantinople said that his Church seeks unity with the UGCC.
During a meeting with UGCC representatives, Patriarch Bartholomew said that the Patriarchate of Constantinople seeks unity with the UGCC. This was reported by the UGCC press service.
The meeting, attended by UGCC cleric Ivan Stefurak, took place during the Ecumenical Patriarch’s visit to Rome.
During the conversation, the head of the Church of Constantinople recalled his meetings with Sviatoslav Shevchuk and asked that his sincere fraternal greetings be conveyed to him as a sign of the good relations between the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the UGCC.
According to Patriarch Bartholomew, these relations are based on ongoing dialogue, a shared witness to Christian values, and the pursuit of unity between the Churches.
As previously reported by the UOJ, Shevchuk said that unity with the Orthodox would not undermine the unity of the UGCC.
