Lugansk eparchy expresses support for Primate of UOC
Meeting of the Lugansk Eparchy Council
On November 2, a regular meeting of the Eparchial Council chaired by Metropolitan Mitrofan of Lugansk and Alchevsk was held at the working residence of the Lugansk Eparchial Administration, reports the website of the eparchy.
The meeting participants discussed issues relating to the illegal actions by the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as well as the latest decisions of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Following the discussion, the Eparchial Council expressed support for His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry and called on the flock of the Lugansk eparchy to strengthen the prayers for the unity of the UOC and for Metropolitan Onufry as the sole legitimate Primate of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
As the UOJ reported, earlier the hierarchs and clergymen of Mukachevo, Tulchin, Rovno, Kherson, Kirovograd, Kharkov, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog and other eparchies of the UOC testified their allegiance to the Primate and the canonical Church.
