Dumenko blesses the Head of Anglican Church at a service in London
Epifaniy Dumenko and Eustratiy Zoria met with Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in London. The head of the Anglican Church received them at Lambeth Palace, according to archbishopofcanterbury.org.
A message on the website of the Archbishop of Canterbury says that he invited the head of the OCU to "express his solidarity with the people of Ukraine and spend time in conversation, prayer and worship."
“The two leaders met with Archbishop Justin before attending the midday Eucharist in the crypt chapel of Lambeth Palace. During the Eucharist, Archbishop Justin knelt down to receive a blessing from Metropolitan Epifaniy,” the press service of the Anglican Church reports.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Dumenko complained in London about discrimination against the OCU.
