The IV All-Ukrainian Forum of UOC Clergymen’s Wives has begun its work at the Kyiv Church of the Synaxis of the Twelve Apostles, reports the "Dialogue.TUT" TG channel.
The organisers say that "people who are convinced from everywhere that they are non-citizens and enemies of the state because they belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are sharing their experience of how to keep their common sense and faith in the triumph of justice while continuing to serve their country and people".
They note that they gathered "because life must grow even where war has shaken everything."
The last forum was held in Kyiv on 23-24 February 2024 and was interrupted by the outbreak of the Russian war against Ukraine.
