Pan-Orthodox Council will not consider Verkhovna Rada’s message
The Pan-Orthodox Council in Crete will not discuss the situation in the Orthodox Church in Ukraine and does not intend to make this issue on the agenda. This was stated by Advisor to the Patriarch Archdeacon John Hrisavgis, reports RIA Novosti.
"This we know for sure, because new issues are not on the agenda and will not be discussed by the Council. This was requested by Patriarch Kirill at the previous Synaxis. He said that he would not like it. And, of course, he asked for obligations and said he would not come, if the Ukrainian issue was discussed. His Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew promised it, and Constantinople will not consider it," said Fr. John.
Recall that on June 16 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine called on the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew with a request to grant autocephaly to “the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.”
