In Kiev, the community of St. George’s Church unanimously voted to stay in the bosom of the canonical Church. Video of the vote is posted on the official page of the temple on Facebook.
“The religious community unanimously supported the decision to stay in the bosom of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and support its pastor, His Beatitude Onufry, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine, Primate of the UOC,” the message said.
