Kirovograd Eparchy affirms allegiance to His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy
The meeting of the deans of Kirovograd eparchy
On November 12, the Kirovograd Eparchy Administration, chaired by Metropolitan Joasaph of Kirovograd and Novomirgorod , held a meeting of the deans of Kirovograd eparchy, the UOC eparchy’s website reports.
The participants of the meeting discussed current issues of the eparchy. The problems of the UOC position in the present conditions were also touched upon.
“The deanery of Kirovograd eparchy clearly and firmly stated their position regarding the current developments and once again unanimously expressed their support for His Beatitude Onufriy, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine, noting that the current canonical structure of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is optimal and the only true in today's conditions,” says the message on the eparchy’s website.
As the UOJ reported, earlier the allegiance to the Primate and the canonical Church was witnessed by the hierarchs and clerics of Mukachevo, Tulchin, Rovno, Kherson, Zhitomir, Chernigov, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, and other eparchies of the UOC.
