UAOC denies transition of Khmelnitsky region clerics to Kiev Patriarchate
The fact of disinformation on behalf of the UOC-KP was confirmed on December 1 by the priests of the Khmelnitsky diocese of the UAOC at the session of the Ternopil and Khmelnitsky eparchy Council of the UAOC in Ternopil.
The information about the transition was published by the press service of the UOC-KP on 23 November.
"In fact, 23 November, at the invitation of the priest Nicholai Fatich, the ruling bishop of the Diocese of Khmelnitsky of the UOC-KP Metropolitan Anthony (Makhota) attended a meeting at the Intercession Church of Volochisk, during which the Metropolitan of the UOC-KP campaigned the clerics of the Volochisk deanery of the Khmelnitsky diocese of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church for transition to the UOC-KP. The clergy of Khmelnitsky diocese of the UAOC, in particular of the Volochisk deanery, did not take a conciliar decision on the transition to the clergy of the Khmelnitsky diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kiev Patriarchate," says the statement of the UAOC.
The statement also stressed that there is no Ternopil-Khmelnitsky diocese in the structure of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, and there are two separate dioceses –Ternopil and Khmelnitsky.
As the UOJ reported earlier, the UOC-KP stated that in the Khmelnitsky region a group of priests of the UAOC transferred to the Kiev Patriarchate.
