Withdrawal of Ukrainian Church from Russian Orthodoxy to Ecumenical Church will be positive for Russian Church – Klimkin
Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin has said that the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Russian Orthodoxy to the Ecumenical Church would be a positive for the world church community and for the Russian church.
"The words of His Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew addressed to us: "Feel at home here!" Not like at home, but at home. We are leaving the Russian Orthodoxy and return to the Ecumenical one. And this will have a positive future for us, for the world church community and even for the Russian Church," Klimkin wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
