In the Odessa diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, believers from many deaneries joined the flashmob that began in Zaporizhia against the arrival of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople to Ukraine, according to a video posted on the diocese's Youtube channel.
“After our recent video in support of the flash mob launched by the Zaporizhia diocese against the arrival of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, a lot of deaneries of the Odessa diocese of the UOC joined us and filmed how the entire fullness of Orthodox Christians in Odessa unanimously repeats, ‘Bartholomew, We are not waiting for you!’” says the diocese.
A video urging the head of Phanar not to come to Ukraine was recorded by the believers of the UOC in the cities of Odessa region: Chornomorsk, Belgorod-Dnistrovsky, Tatarbunar, Reni, Biliayivka, Sarata, Bolgrad, Tarutin, Artsyz and Yuzhne.
