Filaret proponents try to disrupt worship of the UOC community in Kotiuzhiny (VIDEO)
On August 13, Archpriest Alexander Kantitsky discovered that you cannot enter the house where the UOC community has been compelled to pray since the dissenters seized the community’s temple. The door lock was flooded with some kind of liquid. The priest called the police squad, and the law enforcement officers documented the damage to the lock and accepted the statement of the UOC community about an attempt to obstruct the worship.
Over time, the people managed to get into the house, and the Liturgy was accomplished. According to the UOC believers, some of the schismatics promised to wall up the entrance next time.
